As of Oct 2015 Lesser Haste (Burst of agility) is no longer doubly reduced by Trickster.

The original, flanking strike, gave a 5% increase for strike from behind/flank. Then they changed it to flanking strikes with a 60 sec cd and power increase removed (yet another example of power nerf). This was an absolute have back in the day but a thief had to be careful when to back stab a guardian or ele as aegis could reflect all the damage back at thief and insta kill themselves. Part of the reason aegis got nerfed. A thief using dancing daggers infront of a zerg ball would die 95% of the time from aegis.
