This is what I would choose for a sword build. You could probably leave out Improved Gouge and Improved Cheapshot and go for 5/5 in Seal Fate. But I personallly dont feel its worth 5 points since you'll be spamming SS and that will only crit 15-20% of the time. Fisher likes it.
The more common one is 21/8/22, where you take improved backstab in the Combat tree, and this build will let you swap between swords and daggers at will but leaves out some of the more refined skills like Improved Cheapshot and you'd have to lose the point in Camoflage. (choose either Master of Deception or Camoflage btw, some prefer one or the other).
I swear by Improved Expose Armour against warriors, pallys, druids and priests, but mostly only use it against warriors. You can choose some poison skill sif you dont want it.
Play about with your talents here if you're still not happy:
