Why it works
This build spends all 10 points in pure level-19 PvP value: Malice adds crit to every damaging play, while Opportunity makes your behind-the-target dagger opener hit much harder. Both are row-1 talents, so the split is legal and avoids weak filler.
The gear is built around dagger burst without giving up too much health. Assassin’s Blade in both hands gives the best dagger package from the list, with agility and strength on each weapon. Tunic of Westfall, Leggings of the Fang, Feet of the Lynx, Forest Leather Bracers, Bristlebark Gloves, Scout’s Medallion, and the PvP band all stack agility for attack power, crit, and dodge. Sentry Cloak, Deviate Scale Belt, Flying Tiger Goggles, and the stamina pieces keep you from folding instantly in Warsong Gulch trades. Venomstrike is the best ranged pick because its proc gives you real pressure when you cannot stay connected.
Open from stealth with Shadowstrike, then convert early combo points into Between the Eyes when you need the stun window. Pool energy before Mutilate so you can chain pressure instead of landing one hit and stalling. Use Shiv when your target needs the off-hand application, and use Poisoned Knife or Quick Draw while moving or when kited. Save Evasion for low-health melee trades or flag-room scrambles where surviving a few extra swings wins the fight.
Crystal of Zin-Malor is only included because the candidate trinket list has no second useful PvP trinket; keep Insignia ready as your real trinket for Charm, Fear, and Polymorph breaks.
