Which of the two Thief dagger classes now feels better to play?

Dual Blade still flows well, and now the damage is great too. Can't say much about the damage reductions and whatnots, since my CB is only level 9X. But if Shads are anything like DBs, you shouldn't be getting hit at all.
Soo, I can vouch for Bladders being fun and stronk, can't say much about Shads.
