one thing to remember when your stunlocking,
some stunlock strategies for anyone:
1) Open with CS
2) build up 4-5 CPs and save a little energy.
3)If the target uses their pvp trinket: KS as soon as possible
if not, KS about a second after CS wears off (make it fast so they cant use any instants).
4) During KS, damage as always but save enough energy for a blind. easier to do with SHS spec.
5) when KS ends, if the target already used their trinket, blind them, bandange if need be, restealth ASAP, then sap. if they didnt use their trinket use gouge to try and force them to trinket, then pop blind anyways and try to stealth asap.
6) sap them (after restealthing) and build up energy or bandage [almost everyone has their trinket down at this point]
7) wait till blind is almost over then CS again, if you waited long enough there will be no diminishing returns.
8) use KS
from here the target should be mostly down or dead, if they arent you might want to vanish and run. you should still have vanish ready unless things went wrong, and if your SHS you have 2 vanishes ready thanks to prep. you could also swap in a dagger while the target is sapped and do an ambush if you feel comfortable w/it. CS > vanish > ambush works decently if you need some bursty damage. you have to sacrifice points in improved ambush to make this really worth while and it wont be as effective in high rated arenas.
the key is to not rush, try and force them to trinket before using your next stun, and always save a little energy to blind them when they do trinket (or to vanish -> CS or vanish -> sap if your out of combat)
