Devil, I can't believe you still think a 18 second charged Assassinate should do more DPS than spamming it. Do you realize how little sense that makes, and what kind of numbers you'd have to be hitting for that to happen? You're not charging the skill, the extra damage is just to make up for the potential damage lost while in Dark Sight. Shadowers are meant to be a fast-paced, melee, comboing class. Assassinate's charge up mechanism is not made to reward standing still in Dark Sight for an extended period of time, you're still encouraged to move on and keep attacking as soon as possible.
As for the first 3 hits not procing crit, I assume that's intended. Sniper's Blizzard doesn't crit with SE either.
If Assassinate's damage formula isn't what Fiel posted, though, I may have to revise my calculations.
