new pvp assin

my assassin just recently started getting to be a lot of fun in pvp, and im just wondering about a few things to help optimize my char. is the M1 caltrops worht the money, the snare is minorly better. but i was wondering if the resist debuff drops their resists intot he negatives will they take extra damage from poisons? im 5 points from the bottom str AA and was wondering if i should even bother with it once i max my crit chance, 15% more damage on one of my attacks doesnt seem to enticing.(at least until i get 50 when its 2 attacks!) Second, after i finish STR  im torn between the bleed line and the tricks line, but a few things will make the desision easier. does excessive bleeding work well in pvp? or is it nerfed to like 2% per bleed? knocking 20% of their hitpoints off right off the bat seems pretty nice. how much does improved cut throat actually add in pvp, its 5 seconds PVE but cut throat gets halved in pvp so im guessing imp cut throat does also. Any other tips greatly appreciated!

<p>Well, I will start with how I'm specd...I play in grp pvp mostly and solo when I need tokens.  I have my predator points between STR and STA.  Due to the fact that I do go out and solo pvp and run into grps, having the hitpoints from STA is great and the end ability is nice when you fight someone and they dump all their hvy attacks at first and they are all parried, then you kill em.  The end ability of STR is nice as well due to going from a 15 min assassinate/decap to 10 min.  Prior to STA I had AGI which was nice for strining combos and faster cast times.  </p><p>For the Assn tree I have done each, and so far what I like is the Bleed tree and the Poison tree.  Tricks I didn't see any benefit in pvp (personally) and physicallty is kinda nice but the end ability is awful.  However, the end ability for poisons I like cos it dbls all your procs (i.e. adornments, poisons, etc) Granted that some of the minor abilities are a waste, but I like the frontload.  For the extra points I've put them in sprint, its nice to have all 5 points in there cos you can haul [Removed for Content] and the rest of the points where you like.</p>
