why does shadow strike say 600 range when we all know it's a horrible 75 range stab that always misses.

Because it's not range, it's distance - namely, the distance you get teleported back. It seems they neglected to include the range (which is complicated, since the range of the damage stab and the pistol shot are going to be different)

Also it's one of the fastest skills thief has that isn't an instant cast. Once you get used to it it's actually a really, really good skill, but that's thinking more from a WvW duelling perspective. I can totally see why the port would be annoying in PvE. 

By the way, if you miss a lot with it, try using the same range and movement as you would for cloak and dagger. Seems to work for me.

Agreed with the CnD comment. Do note that red range indicators aren't always accurate. Some work further away some need to be closer than the indicator
