Why take Nightstalker and open CS? Talking PvP here, the 50% dmg is wasted? What am I missing?

Vanish rupture exsanguinate is in the top 3 burst on ptr and beta.
or take MfD an open with rupture, blood of the assassinated, and exsanguinate for crazy reliable burst
Speaking for assasi, why wouldn't you garotte as well as rupture before exsang? That's the 2nd highest DPE ability, also a bleed. @OP Nightstalker snapshots rupture to do 50% more dmg for the entire duration - 28s with deeper stratagem. That's super delicious, not just in pvp but for pve it's strongest assasi dps talent on the tier too.
Nerf Exsanguite.
Doesn't the 20% movement speed & 50% damage carry over to Shadowdance (and thus Shadowstrike, Evis/DFA, Nightblade) as well? And if so, I could see people stacking that with talents such as Dagger in the Dark & Thief's Bargain as well.
I will flay your mind.
So if Im getting this right for Assa Nightstalker is far superior when you Rupture out of stealth? MfD-->Rupture or Vanish-->Rupture? Or open normally spend your points then Vanish-->Rupture?
Mos works, but doesn't snapshot (the dmg boost goes away when the buff fade).
From my testing nightstalker worked and snapshot for the whole duration (in and out of dance), but that was a couple of builds ago. I haven't checked the tooltips, I'm speaking of damage done on a dummy.
