Well, maxing Blade Shield is pointless especially if you don't have much CB. I wouldn't spent a point there. Also maxing Burst of speed is pointless too due to dimnishing results. 3-6 should be enough. (Or 1 if you have enough +skills) I would invest in Claw Mastery and Death Sentry, few more in Weapon Block.
Also your gear is strange in some areas. Sacrificing so much STR fo Arkaine's Valor is not the good idea imho (Duress ?). And I don't see much resistances... If I am right, the Tiger strike uses only primary weapon? In that case you could use a Jade Talon as secondary for resists.

Read the TS/DTail guides linked from Guides stickied thread here...

looks like a tiger/tail'sin to me, where do you get ww or trapper from?

@op:
nix on 20 in BoS & B-Shield. BoS rarely needs more than a point, and even then only maybe 4-5 tops to hit an IAS bp with some obscure gear.
B-Shield is a one-point-only skill and has been nerfed so it's not the damage machine it used to be (the Shredder was a viable build and the reason b-shield was nerfed). it's a 'little bit of splash/gravy damage', thats it, one-point only, ever, same as for b-fury.

instead, get pumping that Death Sentry. for cleaning out whole rooms, accept no substitute.

a tiger/tail'sin is a viable build, the gear you have listed will get you through hell, can i also suggest a Duress armour and a base point (all you really need for pvm) in Venom.

now, assuming you havn't started this sin yet, or are going wild with zonfire, if i could suggest a different build. an ilkori'sin, slightly modified by moi.
20: lit sentry, death sentry, charged bolt sentry.
5-10 in d-talon depending on +skills, you want it at slvl 18 for four kicks
1point: Venom, Master, b-fury, M-blast, d-flight.
spares to shockweb.
gear:
guillaumes face helm socket with a Sol.
treachery armour in something light & elite (can you make this SP?, if not, Duress)
mara's ammy
dungo's belt
dracs gloves
up'd gores on tootsies
stormlash socky with a res-jool
stormshield socky with a Sol
ravenfrost & 'insert ring of choice here', carrion wind or some mana-leach is nice.
switch: cta/spirit (or lidless?)
stats:
str: 156 for gores/monarch
dex: enough for max block with said shield
merc with:
life leech hat (tal's is nice) or guillaumes if a life-leech wep is used.
CBF armour (glads bane is nice, dury shell will serve)
some kind of thumping great eth pokestick.

this sin has the benefits of;
1: four elements of damage, straight out of the box. Lightning (lit sentry, duh), Poison (venom, duh), Fire (CE from death sentry is half fire damage, duh) & Physical (the half of CE thats not Fire damage and the straight up phys damage of 'talon)
2: d'talon with some nice crushing blow is amazing at taking down single targets, see also point 3. d'talon also attacks at 7/3 frames speed and packs perfect for setting of CtC spell effects, see also point 4.
3: Death Sentry features Corpse Explosion, a skill only 'sins and Necromancers can have access to without charges. CE is great once you have a corpse or two it starts to get pumping, knocking over a couple more bods, generating more ammunition and getting a huge chain reaction going, see also point 2.
4: Stormlash has a CtC Static Charge proc. which knocks the tops off any non-lit-immunes health bars nearby very fast, makeing them easier to kill with CE, see also point 3.

just a suggestion, but if your bent on a tiger-tail sin, the setup you listed will get you through. in any event, i suggest maxing Death Sentry.

Well, maxing Blade Shield is pointless especially if you don't have much CB.

It's pretty pointless even if you DO have a lot of CB. Blade Fury is the only blade skill that carries CB on it.
