Since it might be confusing: at low levels I used Dagger in the Back (Assassin) and Improved Weapon Finesse (DWS) to provide DEX to-hit and damage with daggers. Later on we switch to Tempest+Graceful Death to provide both. Exactly when to switch is up to you; you can do so any time after character level 8 / ranger level 6. I delayed it until level 14 to make the leveling plan less confusing. [I prototyped this build with Shadarkai who start at level 15 with 56 APs, then "walked it back" to regular elf.]
