BG activity? That sounds like you're into basic gankage. For that purpose I suggest Assassination or Subtlety; have fun killing 20% hp mages.
No offense, but you basically just said "pick one of the only viable PvP specs".
For BGs, I personally like Mutilate just because it's more fun for me to burst down a caster quickly. It also makes me feel like less of an idiot for buying S1/S2 daggers (but only marginally less of an idiot). I won't deny that Shadowstep's mobility is a fantastic thing sometimes, though. Particularly in EotS - line of sight is messed up in ways that you can ShS from the hill by an enemy base straight up to someone defending it. I drove one warlock crazy this way, just stepping in to sap, waiting for diminishing returns, and repeating the maneuver until help arrived. Even with his felhunter out and a warrior helping him look, the mobility and stealth power of Shadowstep were just too much to resist. (He may also have been stupid, there's distinct possibilities here.)
