Strongest and Weakest sides of Shadows

Strongest:
-- Initiative;
-- Ability to avoid Skill-raised attacks via Uncanny Dodge (~2 round cooldown);
-- Ability to avoid every attack via Shadowdance(style)/Riposte(skill) (~2 round cooldown for the skill variant).
-- Ability to do a strong attack (depends on Shadows' weapon -- Dual Strike.) (~2 round cooldown)

Weakest:
-- Light Armour only;
-- Few of activated offensives.

As a result:
0. Every Shadow is some kind of defensive gladiator...
1. Good Shadow is just a pain for Wars/Slayers/Rages oriented for few (1-2) attacks per round. // It's good. imo.
2. Strategy of "swing" like "Start Whirlwind 9/8, Even numbered rounds Shadowdance 6/6" is obvious. Almost.
