Could swing the 9 APs in Drow to Harper for KTA. A couple of Kensei APs were just to use them. IPS at 15 seems late. I like having rogue 1st lvl for the skill points. Think that makes 10ks a level later and T5 of Kensai at lvl 13. So, waffling on that a bit as well. Some of the ranged feats could be reordered as well I think.

Rogue gives 4d6 Sneak, but DWS gives 3, AND Sniper shot which by itself is probably better for this build than the Kensei T5's. If you specifically want Rogue abilities I understand this split, but from SA maximizing and active attack using perspective, 6 Ranger is still a better bet I think.

Its so hard to max out stats gear-wise nowadays, I don't think KtA is worth it unless you were going to be heavy on Int anyway.
Agreed that ranger would probably add more than rogue for this build.
Weapon Focus Ranged is a better option than Power Critical.
One other thing: You'll always want to take the dark monk feat now post monk pass. I realize you didn't put points in Ninjutsu, but you really should have since it is much more efficient than the +1s from Drow.

It's been a while but if I remember the details of the SA focused shuri build I ran, it was an 11/6/3 rogue/ranger/monk or an 8/6/6 rogue/ranger/monk.
The rogue + ranger build gives you more options for SA die and the activated attacks from DWS are fairly comparable to the ones from Kensai.

Personally was thinking to use this type build to get my 2nd racial past life. So, yes, would be nice, but not there yet.
