Tier Set Discussion:
The Tier Set doesn't directly change anything for our playstyle. However, it does cramp more of our damage into our burst windows which is very welcome. In terms of actual power, it is roughly a 13% damage increase from 0 set to 4 set.

Trinkets
Light Company Guidon: Simple Haste on-use trinket that we pair up with Shadow Blades to increase our Shadow Dance duration (quite important to press it a tiny bit before you press Shadow Dance as it takes the server a moment to update the haste).
Gaze Of The Alnseer: Similar to Astral Antenna, damaging spells gives you a bit of main stat and multiple procs may overlap at the same time.
Radiant Plume: Just a simple stat stick trinket with mastery that slowly fades and then goes back to full value again, pressing the trinket swaps it to the Umbral Plume on a 5 minute cooldown.
Umbral Plume: Same as the Radiant Plume but with critical strike instead.
Algeth'ar Puzzle Box: 2 minute on-use trinket that gives you mastery when used. Since it's a 2 minute cooldown you want to pair it up with every other Shadow Blades.
Heart Of Wind: Your attacks and abilities have a chance to give you a haste proc.
Embellishments
Your goal should be to craft a dagger and put on the Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt Embellishment as your first craft.
Your second craft, if you want it to be fully optimal, should be a belt with Arcanoweave Lining. However, I recommend looking at what pieces you are actually struggling with to figure out where it makes the most sense to put the second craft.
For the rest you just slot in your lowest item level typically, and the two recommended Embellishments are just simple stat procs.
