See a few of the Assassin posts on the Armory forum. Take a look on both pages. There is a good one about Trap only assassins. Very effective and easy to use build.
For Martial Arts Focus, you will want to work your way to at least 90 or 100 in Str and Dex, to equip the higher end claws in late game, perhaps more depending on how many stat adding items you also equip.
You need no points in Energy, as Cobra Strike leeches both life and mana for you, and you can pile it on top of Tiger Strike before finishing. One point in cobra is all you really need.
Vitality adding points rate depends on if you are HC or SC, and how much life you will need in hell diff. That differs with your play style.
Max Claw mastery
Max Tiger Strike
I suggest Phoenix Strike as the elemental skill
Pump or max Shadow Warrior. She will sometimes toss about cloak of shadows and make the screen go dark, but is THE best tank in the game.
A point in Psychic hammer and one in mind blast are well spent as 'back these baddies off for a second" skills.
A point in fade pays bonuses, as any +assassin skills adds to that and pops your resistances up when you need them.
A point in Burst of Speed, or perhaps a few points, is key to fast attacks and fast running.
Dragon FLight seems popular as a finisher as well . . . put a point in it if you like and see how you like it.
In any case, enjoy, Assassins are fun. :)
Check the Arreat Summit items section, in weapons, to see the stat requirements for assassin weapons. That can help you decide how many points you want to put into your str and dex stats.
