you shouldn't need burst of speed at lvl 20
what is your primary attack going to be? figure that out then figure out what lvl bos and ias you need to use that attack at the fastest rate possible.
i'd suggest 1 to burst of speed and let it come to lvl 10 or so with the skills on your gear. (depending on what you use)
use a fast speed claws (talon type) with a bit of ias on your lead claw and you should be able to hit every last breakpoint on any assassin attack.

weapon block maxed is a bit of a waste since it has diminishing returns. most people either get it to 56% (lvl 16 with gear) where it starts costing 2 skills to get 1%, or to 60% (lvl 26 with gear)

high or low lvl shadow master is a preference thing, but she is not gonna do well as your only means of damage.

stats depend on your gear.

i think you need some other damage. (how are you delivering your venom?)

edit: oh, are you using chaos ww?

I usually just put one in Burst of Speed and let my plus skill items bring it up. The same goes actually for Weapons Block. I've never heard of anyone putting more than one in it. It's a passive skill which is nice, but I'd certainly not rely on it to save my life or anything. And it's only as good I think as your Hit Recovery is. I'd just put one in it and go really high on Dex. I'm not sure why you want Venom if you're not spending much on Dex though.

Shadow Masters unfortunately aren't good for much. They're not gonna kill anything and they're certainly not going to tank. Which is a shame really. I think most classes should have a summonable unit that can tank.

I think any kind of Claw type Sin should be really high on Dex and life leech. I'm assuming you'll be using claws anyway since you're maxing out the mastery for it. There aren't really many Sin builds that use claws that can do very much. But they're still a lot of fun and still my main preference for a build. Just make sure you can hit your target almost everytime and that you can fill up your life really fast from each hit. Your life leech by the time you get to Hell should at least be fifty percent.
