This decreases the value.Oh my, how could I forget the actual skill cast times at Assi Charge!
Current Assassinate: 12s+2.01 - 5x 2535 = 54,282%
New Assassinate: 8s+1.77s - 5x 2535 = 77,840%
With SE:
Current: 14.01s - 5x 2690 = 57,601%
New: 9.77s - 5x 2690 = 82,599%
As you can see, the damage is not exactly 50% more because the cast times are a given constant, and must be combined with the charge time. Also, I believe your critical values are slightly off, for crits you add %-100 (so for 4th hit of Ass, 250%-100% = +150% damage) and calculate accordingly.

Anyway, I don't know where you're going with Assassinate + Criticals, but afaik, the last his is still +250% additional critical damage, with 90% chance without SE, and with SE its 100% chance with 250%+140% = +390%, that makes:
- Without SE: 600+0.9*250= 825% average damage
- With SE: 600+1.0*(250+140)= 990% average damage
So recalcs:
Current Assi Chargeup: 12.000ms + 2010ms = 14010ms - 5x 2625 = 56.210% DPM
New Assi Chargeup: 8.000ms + 1770ms = 9770ms - 5x 2625 = 80.604% DPM = +43% DAMAGE INCREASE

Current Assi Chargeup + SE: 12.000ms + 2010ms = 14010ms - 5x 2790 = 59.743% DPM
New Assi Chargeup + SE: 8.000ms + 1770ms = 9770ms - 5x 2790 = 85.670% DPM = +43 DAMAGE INCREASE

So, new Shadower attack DPM:
- Bstep + SBlow (no SE) - 62.979%
- Assassinate (with Chargeup / no SE) - 80.604% <- Best for soloing bosses, hardly any pots cost, still good DPM!

- Assassinate + Bstep (no Chargeup / no SE) - 88.415%
- Assassinate (no Chargeup / no SE) - 88.983%
- Bstep + SBlow (with SE) - 75.234%
- Assassinate (with Chargeup / with SE) - 85.670%
- Assassinate + Bstep (no Chargeup / with SE) - 92.439%
- Assassinate (no Chargeup / with SE) - 94.576% <- Clearly the best when you're in SE party!
