I prefer the backstab to the sneak attack. I don't always use my thief to pull, but I like the tactic that I"m using now. I'll use Sense Traps initially until I am confident that there are no traps in my line of "pulling" the monster back to my awaiting party.
Once done, I go into the shadows to scout and decide what enemy I will pull first. In cases where I have a clean shot at just one enemy, I will make sure that I'm hidden in the shadows, and maneuver my way behind them and then 'BAM' they get it in da back! I'm really glad that i found that Fire Dagger early on in the game as it now lends itself to my main plan of attack.
Every now and then the thief takes a hit, but it's not so bad. He seems to hold his own in most cases. Once I get back to the spot where I've set up base, the undead that the cleric summoned seems to take the agro off the thief. So then he hides and then moves in for a second backstab.
I'm sure that as I progress in the game, I'll get better but this tactic seemed to really work in the Vale.
