I noticed that in your balance spec you don't use shadow strike. Do you find that it's not needed or just too hard to pull off?

I have to agree with this. I leveled KC but geared for dps, and now that I'm running HM flashpoints I've respecced to balance. It took a lot of getting used to, but is definetly more fun to play.

Whether or not Low Slash is a stun, it sounds like everyone is in agreement that it should be used regularly.

I started messing around with a few different builds and came up with this one. It focuses on most of the abilities from KC but adds some nice perks from infiltration and gives your upheaval. One of the reasons I made this was that in pvp, I hardly used Telekinetic Throw, mostly due to having to sit still during the channel. With this build, you are constantly moving and are replacing TT with Shadow Strike which most people aren't going to expect coming from a "tank". I focus primarily on stalker gear and use Combat Stance for the FB ability and extra armor. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#601rzrskbszZhGM0zZf0c.1 Thoughts? Feedback? Any critique (positive or negative) is appreciated.

I noticed that you didnt list low slash in the rotation. Should it be avoided in pvp or is it one of the situatiinal abilities?

I'm currently level 42 and kinetic specced. I'm not "sure" but I think I've overdone my endurance and wanted to get some advice from everyone. Here are my current stats: Strength: 87 Presence: 198 Aim: 43 Cunning: 43 Endurance: 1015 Willpower: 651 Health: 12001 Armor: 4523 DR: 32.96% DC: 23.7% SC: 21.92% SA: 25.06% I'm primarily gearing to tank, but haven't had a need to due to lack of flashpoints. Any suggestions for changing up stats to be more useful in pvp and non-fp pve?
