I understand your logic, but I still feel the same. I am not saying 5% isn't much (it isn't - but it's not horrid). I am calculating that because of the natural chaos which is PvP, you would not in fact even see this ability proc for its advertised 5% of the time. Rather, about 1%. So, in reality it would be about 5 points spent for 1%...maybe 2. If it cost me 1 point to get the full 5% then I would, but never would I spend 5. This is strictly from a hardcore PvP point of view.

Again from a purely PvP point of view, looking with a glance at the trees you posted, I personally would empty out my 5 points and jump briefly over to the Assassination tree, substituting Improved Evis. in place of SS (3 points invested into it, resulting in a guaranteed damage increase of 20% to base Evisc. which is a rogue's main finisher and also takes into account top damage of a weapon) Again, this is just glancing at the spec here, but if I really wanted a modular talent i'd use my other 2 points to take Remorseless attacks since it can add a 40%mod. Still, this one is quite circumstantial too and wouldn't see as much use as it would in PvE, where one mob after another is being killed and probably wouldn't be useful in 2v2 arena scenarious but could prove fun in say, WSG or EotS. But this is only if I had to choose between modular skills.
