These days not horrible would have to classified as weapons with improvements to their crit profiles, not one single shuriken has these improvements.
The sheer fact that even without the stacking throws you made a compelling argument for a low level dart proves my point.
I expected a better counter :p
Physical damage, at this point with TF, just turns out to be about 33% of maximum shuriken throwing damage as you well know. Even with an improved critical version, if it was missing for example TF procs, it would probably be suboptimal.
And that dart build required Swashbuckler, so no monk at all (or pally which I don't care as much about). It would be nice if there was a way to match damage on a lower throw rate but higher base damage thrower build one way or the other (through weapons, and/or feats and maybe LD). I do think using TF weapons though you could come up with a Shuriken build that would be in the pack using OC and LD, but charging the Blitz is a pain on a ranged character and/or if you ever lost it. It's not awful, but it's a drag.
TBH, I think it was Feather who loved Shuriken. I don't think anyone else cares at Turbine, so I doubt we'll ever see any more unique named ones. It is a shame. I mean, they had all the potential in the world to make all Throwing weapons competitive with a few small tweaks in U22 especially with Swash, but they flailed it.
