It's really a matter of preference...

Pilage gives you a very strong opening move in a group or when soloing things you can sneak up on

Bladeweaver gives a REALLY nice buff

Or you can go with the extra damage on our spam attack

I chose Pillage. It's a huge boost in damage. Bladeweaver isn't that huge of an upgrade and you can easily get buffs from rings and such to make up the difference. Brilliant Swathe you can already easily get a Master 1 for. Disable wasn't that great of an upgrade. To me, the best use of it was Pillage because it's also a debuff, as aposed to pure dmg with uncanny reflexes.

Bladeweaver gets upgraded to Battleweaver, there is really no point in choosing that (I dont remember that being a 54 option, but if it was then its not worth it - Swashy in our global channel said that the M2 is 1 or 2 stat points higher than the Battleweaver adept).
 
Disable is one of our lower damage abilities, so not worth it either.
 
Brilliant Swathe seems to be  common Master 1 (I had Disable and Brilliant Swathe Master 1 so I wasnt going to take them M2).
 
The choice is really between: Pillage or Uncanny Reflexes.
 
I chose Pillage for the same reasons Naggy did.  It is a massive amount of damage that includes a debuff component.  Uncanny Reflexes is just damage, and if the first attack misses the second auto does.  Either one is a viable choice though, but I went Pillage.

Not sure how many people noticed this but there is one good low level choice.  The level 34 choice includes bravado line - 5% hate 51% haste, this is much better than even the level 60 bravado at Adept 1 and probably the same as the Adept 3 although I haven't made it to check. I also chose Pillage at 54 for reasons already stated above.

Were we supposed to get a training option at 52?  I don't recall receiving one.

the lvl 46 of the bravado line at master 1 is 58%, adept 3 of the lvl 60 is also 58%.
 
Personally i will be going for Pillage, damage and debuff over straight damage.

Bladeweaver is one of the lvl 44 master 2 choices.  The lvl 54 choices are Brilliant Swathe, Disable, Pillage, and Uncanny Reflexes.  I'm gonna go with Pillage when I get to 54.

I chose pillage because I already had brilliant swathe M1 and you get a higher skill later.
