Basically, our damage is too low in full deception/madness builds to make up for the poor survivability. Our best option is to go partial deception/madness hybrid and keep dark charge on or go full tank with dark charge.

For those who were wondering, I use the build http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#200bZhGMRkMR0zZf0cRrMz.1 I use surging charge as a filler since I sometimes do flashpoints, other than that I stay in Dark Charge for pvp, keep a shield in my offhand, and go half tank gear/dps gear. This build has decent survivability with Dark Charge active, and tons of control on the battlefield. Instant whirlwind with a stun, a 4 second incapacitate, 30% aoe damage reduction, burst from maul, shock, and death field. I will prob switch discharge 2/2 over to avoidance 2/2.

Assassin is fine. I mean really fine. Go Tanky/dps hybrid, keep dark Charge on, go 2/21/18, and guard an ally. I'm constantly top damage and top protection in warzones with 10 medals a WZ on average. http://imgur.com/7XLb8,DE2E2 13 medals 2 games in a row. Just learn to play your class.
