I'm a fan of rend, and Alcast uses it in his stamblade builds. If he says it outperforms FD, it outperforms it.
I think dawnbreaker offers a little more dps, but rend brings in its amazing heal for tough fights. Since I use mymultimates for saving my butt, I usually stick w rend.

Not everything someone says is true. Even if its Alcast.

With vMA weapons, Rend does the most damage of all available ultimates to the stamina nightblade. Without vMA weapons, Rend, Ballista, Shooting Star and Dawnbreaker of Smiting (NOT Flawless Dawnbreaker) are pretty close.
Flawless Dawnbreaker is only good as a way to get more weapon damage on your front bar, the damage from the ultimate itself is pretty crap. So if you've decided on using Flawless Dawnbreaker, it will be there just for the weapon damage but you won't use it at all, your actual "main" ultimate would be either Shooting Star or Ballista. However, if you want to use Dawnbreaker as your main ultimate, then use Dawnbreaker of Smiting, it does WAY more DPS.
