    Straight damage, flurry (either morph) is better but....

    pvp - use surprise attack

    pve - you can use either for different reasons, surprise attack will keep your armor buff up (shadow passive) as well as make sure everything is debuffed (though it should be already) but flurry will still be more overall damage.

    That is wrong. When there is no Major Fracture from an other source suprise attack will deal more dmg than flurry.
    When in a group with a tank you will deal more dmg with rapid strikes

    I was talking about a group with a tank that is already debuffing most mobs, at least that's what most people mean by pve.

    If solo then surprise attack is better for many reasons, health buff, armor buff, armor debuff, instant so can be used as a sneak attack and can stun/off balance from cloak.
