Have a gander at evilgamer.net TONS of invaluable information on how the SK works. They're one of the more complex classes if you want to maximize their utility. In particular look up spell threading. That's the key to high dps. And get a 2-hander with 35 delay or MORE :)

That's from an old log when I was in crystallos + MMM gear. I haven't turned on logging in awhile :) I'm using longsword of the fanatic legion (119/33). The best dps group 1hander for SK is Rend (80/32). There's not too much difference in spell damage between group and raid SK (75 damage...
