No, if you hit something while in stealth you get the revealed debuff. If you wait the three seconds and wait for stealth to fall off, you also get the revealed debuff. They also talked against stacking stealth, so D/P thieves may take an even bigger hit.
So, I happened to stop by the GW2 State of the Game stream just in time for their discussion on thieves. Apparently, ANET plans to change stealth so that it applies the revealed buff, regardless if you hit something or not.
