Yes, the animation exists, atleast

A bottle to the head!
A axe for a leg!
A knife to the heart!

Wow it's perfect!

Thank you. :-D

With how the game is now, most CC abilities are purely used for their damage (outside of PvP, of course). Additionally, Stuns are usually handled by the Tanks (if the enemy is even vulnerable to it) and we haven't needed to Silence a boss in a while... >A>

That formula was a placeholder I put so I'd remember to make a better one for later but I forgot about it. >w>()

A higher chance of dealing Critical Damage.

It is based off of Zidane's skill. >w>
For the animation, I just imagine the character pointing, a ?! appear above the targets head, and then the character jumping back while throwing a dagger.

I had added Last Breath when I first started laying out skills because I was worried the job wouldn't have enough "normal" oGCD skills. I do agree that it is lackluster.

Originally, Sticky Fingers was going to hold a copy of the previous Throwing Weapon Skill you used but then I thought that would require the game to remember what item you used, which might be tricky.

There was a thread about this called "Jongleur" four (!!!) years back in November of 2012, during 1.0:

I did a quick and dirty photo-sketch in that thread!
