Guild Wars 2

Hi guys, i have been doing pvp on my thief for the past 5 months or sth and most of the time i find myself using the s/d build since the buff on flanking strike. Although i like it i feel like i want to try the d/p build. Is it still viable, or i will be handicaped if i use it in tpvp? Is there an actual role for this spec or s/d does the same but just better? Imo s/d works better in team fights, is that so or i am making a mistake? I am now testing out d/p 10/30/0/0/30 for the daze on steal.
Thank you guys

Posting this in the sPvP forum would probably get you more responses.
At the moment, D/P and S/D are both very good builds, with D/P being at a very good spot since the blind and Sleight of Hand buff. D/P offers you more control, whereas S/D gives you a better chance at 1v1s and acting as a bruiser for your team. However, with the recent buff to necros and almost every comp running one or even two of them, S/D has slightly lost its effectiveness in team fights. D/P has the superior skillset overall, with every single one of your ability being extremely useful. Shadow Shot is better than ever, and landing Headshots would prove invaluable in team fights, denying your target from using their high damage skills, heals, disengages etc (coupled with Bountiful Theft, you’re almost guaranteed to land those interrupts). I would say get used to D/P and compare to see what you’re more comfortable with.
