You did miss a vendetta and your rupture, envenom uptimes are lower than his
I would recommend a better opener take mine: Pre-pot, Stealth, CoS the gas in the middle to not break your stealth, mutilate(or Ambush), SnD, mutilate, rupture,Shadow Blades + Vendetta, 4-5 cp envenom. From here follow the regular rotation rupture uptime>Envenom.
Have a way to track Envenoms (power auras) and pool your energy to get enough mutilates in between to benefit from the buff. You want to refresh Envenoms at 0 seconds left on the buff, don't be afraid to get a mutilate or two of anticipation cps during high energy regen(hero/haste proc trinket/high rupture energy ticks) while you wait for the envenom buff to get to 0. Also use Vanish on cd for a energy free mutilate or ambush.
