1. do your burning rapier quest asap

2. buy a polished steel dirk asap

3. wield a polished steel dirk main hand, burning rapier offhand til you get your hands on an Eyerazzia mainhand, PSD(or burning rapier) offhand, finally bone razor mainhand with psd offhand(or burning rapier). <-- discludes spears.

Set up an evade macro along the lines of:
/attack off
/doability #
/attack on

It is possible to do the evade faster manually than with a macro, but it's negligible and this is tons easier.

For stats, like was said focus on str first and then hp second. Obviously mainhand a piercer (higher damage is better for backstab), offhand whatever you have that has the best ratio.
