It's worth it for the speed of hasty retreat. You could then slot shuffle for snare immunity.

-I personally love Arrow barrage in Zerg vs Zerg fight's. It's pretty much a ranged steel tornado.
-Poison Injection is alright because you can heavy attack into it from cloak. Better if you have a master bow.
-Bombard is really good for group fight's. Immobilizing everyone you your group should be nice.
-Snipe, the damage is mediocre now but if you have someone in the front line, spam away.

It's personal choice really. Bow is not as useful in Imperial City since everything is really close quarter's. Once you go back to cryodil bow is still good.

For a typical 2H/Bow build. Here are a couple. You can pick from these and still do very well.

Rally / Forward Momentum
Crit Rush / Ambush
Wrecking Blow / Surprise Att
Executioner / Killer's Blade
Mass Hysteria

Piercing Mark / Caltrop's
Dark Cloak
Shuffle / Double Take
Poison Injection / Snipe / Arrow Barrage
Relentless Focus / Vigor

My personal build im currently running. DW/2H

Dark Cloak
Camofluage Hunter
Killer's Blade
Ambush
Surprise Attack
[Ult] Soul Harvest / Flawless Dawnbreaker (i usually get soul harvest for heal debuff)

Piercing Mark (only used if gank goes wrong on nightblade's)
Relentless Focus (damage buff)
Vigor (main heal)
Forward Momentum (cheaper snare removal, let's me use double take to get around in stealth)
Double Take (speed)
[Ult Bat Swarm]

This build is a one shot build though. I just go around looking for vampire's to kill. Once i have bat swarm, i then have enough of a edge to kill player's who are not vampire if i ult right away after the initial stealth attack.

Deltia made a really good build for bow usage.
I used to use it but now I'm going for a magicka build but I really liked the bow.

There's also a link to the written guide in the description.

I did most of the levelling with this build and I didn't have any trouble or problems.
