Tiger Palm, according to my tests, does roughly +50% damage at >50% HP. So that's 60% of AP (since 60% is 50% of 120%) extra damage. Thus 180% + 30% + 30% = 240% is correct.

Shadowcraft doesn't even support the Hemo glyph in a Backstab build and 1400 DPS is way too much for either weaving or Hemorrhage as main CP builder if you look at actual reports.
