Personally for PvE exclusive, I use
Main Stats:
All dex
Passives:
Agility, might, knowledge, crit 5/5
Skills
Aimed 5/5
Nox 5/5
Pierce 2/5 (with heal)
Swap Skills (use the one most appropriate for the map)
Trap 4/5
Veil 4/5
For PvE / PvP combo
I spec only one of the swap skills, remove Strengthened Shot from Nox, and put 5/5 medic instead of the other swap skill.
Note: Some rogues like GoodSyntax don't recommend using heal on pierce for PvE. However, I personally find it can help somewhat in heavier elites.
