PvE, PvP? You can take a look at the most prominent builds on metabattle: https://metabattle.com/wiki/Thief

In general and subject to game mode specific issues:

• Core S/D is good but takes a bit to learn.
• Core D/P is slightly less good but easier to learn.
• Core D/D can be effective but is probably the hardest to learn (depending on the game mode).

Buildwise the “best” power PvE builds will probably stick to Berzerker stats with Scholar Runes. Without expansions you can add in Valkyrie stats to get some HP out of it.

Eventually you may consider an expansion to open up Mauraders stats which are forgiving as far as the planning it takes to balance the stats and have enough HP.

Edit: http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/ is a good site for checking what works stat wise.
