I have to agree here. Trash is a completely different situation, and rarely do you get to work a standard cycle because targets die too fast. With the heavy white damage bias in a combat build, getting SnD up early is top priority. You can't go putting 5 CP on the first target you meet and hit SnD the moment it falls over dead. That 5 pt SnD is wonderfully efficient, unless you're not hitting anything while it ticks away.
I almost always go with backstab->snd at the beginning of a trash pull. With SS I'd prolly go for 2 pts since you'll be able to do that without waiting on your energy much.
