Sounds like there's some confusion. Then again, the last post was over a month ago before release...

Shadow Strike replaces nothing. You might be thinking of Clairvoyant Strike. That replaces Double Strike, due to it buffing the damage of Project (esp. when combined with Circling Shadows) when it's used. However, during a standard DPS rotation, you shouldn't be using Shadow Strike unless you have Infiltration Tactics proc'ed; otherwise it's not worth the 50 Force spent to use it.

For the Sith Assassin, this skill is called "Maul"

Edit: This is roughly 50% stronger than [Double Strike] & also scales significantly better with strength/weapon damage

condition IfCasterPositioning: PositionedLeft=>1, PositionedBehind=>1, PositionedRight=>1
& apparently you can use it towards the sides of an opponent which will make it easier to land in a frantic battle

I don't see this ability as replacing clairvoyant strike. I don't think you will use this unless you have Infiltration Tactics proc (http://www.torhead.com/ability/8k3oWss) because I don't think the scaling will be able to replace the benefits of Circling Shadows (http://www.torhead.com/ability/5NssYrZ), which reduces force cost of Project after Clairvoyant Strike/Double Strike is cast, and Clairvoyant Strike (http://www.torhead.com/ability/btmd2oD) which increases the damage of the next Project.

In order of priority, Infiltration Tactics procced Shadow Strike (so that it can proc again off of subsequent melee attacks), two stack Project from Clairvoyant Strike, Clairvoyant Strike.

So I believe that Shadow Strike won't be cast for full cost. Just my theorycrafting.

Perhaps it wont replace clairvoyant strike, however CS is only available to Infiltration and is the top tier ability in that tree, SS will be used if you are acting as a damage role in either of the two others specs or before Lv 40.
