This Stalker Build is very Simple and is very destructive for bringing down most 1v1 targets.
Phlebotomize gets T8 for 5.2 seconds of Overloaded Shields. Goodbye Health pool!
Analyze Weakness also gets T8 for 2 different reasons:
Quick Suit Power Regen
Base CD is 8 seconds. With T8 that becomes a 50% chance to be 6 seconds. More damage, quicker, and it regens the cost? Yes please.
Impale is placed at T4 because you want the 45% Armor Pierce from behind or in Stealth. Going to T8 isn't worth it because it is only 5 suit power (you are saving 10-15 MAX for a spam session anyways).
Is used to create distance. Using it for the snare is very hit or miss, literally. You can trade this out with
with a nice clone for massive trolling/giggles.
Priority Cycle is the following:
In stealth you line up
and use a free
. Wait the 3-4 seconds and line up another
followed this time by a
. You drop the lovely
. Setup a very easy
which will allow you to use this again towards the end of your cycle. You will preemptively setup the
, use your innate which should be the one that puts you back in stealth and gives you the lovely 100% change to critical hit again. Instead of hitting with
first this time we will open with the heavy
as the enemy should be pretty low/close to dead or is fighting extremely hard to heal themselves while ducking and dodging you right now. You hit them with the
at this time. Everything else from here is a variation of this rotation, if you miss a hard CC, and how skilled your opponent is.
Good luck with your stalker play! They are a ton of fun but when someone notices you on the back line going hard into a healer expect someone to turn and peel quickly! Don't be afraid to use
OR
to make a hasty retreat to come back when your own shields regenerate!

Looks good
Digging this 1v1 build. The concept that Phlebotomize can be used in stealth means some mean openers when coupled with AW and some mad Impale spams. Well done.
Oh and I have no idea how to format shit on this site, when i clicked post, there were paragraphs, I swear.
Lol
Seems like a fun spec, Phlebbotomize is going to be stupid OP, 60% reduced heals, enjoy it while it lasts. I try to avoid t8'ing though.
Killing shields is nice just the skill scales like crap and so deals pretty bad dmg at very best while eating allot of suite power, using it constantly to keep shields down... it might not be worth the suite power and t8 investment. You're spec would be the best shot at making it work, an all-in balls out spike-to-kill in those few seconds. To min/max though, I'd consider keeping it t1.
t8 Analyze weakness?
Did you read the t8 concussive kicks? :P
it lowers the CD on all those skills by 2s each cast so you can end up getting 4s CD analyze weakness after you pop from stealth. That and point for point the kicks scale 2~ times better (+.2% each kick, castable twice in 8s (+.8% dmg/point in the rotation))
Unless analyze weakness starts scaling MUCH better, there's never a reason to rank it and only a small reason to rank it to T4 (if you seriously need suite power).
I'd also think about dumping shred for cripple, you don't need a spammable in a spec like that. Either you run t4 spammable+roots (for back attacks) or t8 or dump it. Cripple deals far more dps and sticks you on a target like glue. That and the three charges in 4 seconds (thanks concussive kicks!) is far more than you will ever need.
Just throwin' shit out there, I put the suggestions into a spec and tweaked amps a lil.

The 12% more dmg under 50% suite power is nice, just doesn't seem to fit your build, you have little suite power regen.
You don't want to open from stealth with under 50 suite power without punish or t8 spammable, you will run out of power in the blink of an eye and if you don't kill the guy in those 2-3 attacks, you will die. In a spec like this, you usually want to wait in stealth until you have higher suite power before opening.
CC resiliance is bomb. Use it on every spec until it is nerfed.
