It seems to... well.. completely overpower Sneak Attack. Superior damage, additional detrimental status on the enemy, and can be executed from behind which is almost always a safest position, if we exclude some very very specific instances such as Amdapor Keep. So I wonder, once you're 50, what is the point of Sneak Attack? Why would I (almost) ever want to use it over Trick Attack? Lv50 ninja players have told me that Sneak Attack does not receive any buffer as far as the level goes (though I guess we'll have to see for the new level cap..), so I just wonder, why make two separate abilities when one completely overpowers the other? BLM and WHM also have tiered spells, but still work so that you have to still use the base tier spells (Fire, Cure, etc.) for the job to effectively work. Wouldn't it have been easier to just put an "Enhanced Sneak Attack" trait at 50 that turned Sneak Attack in what Trick Attack is instead? Time will tell.
1) Yes please.

3) Sneak attack does more damage then trick attack. 500 potency from the front versus Trick attack 400 potency from behind. Though the 10% vulnerability for the entire party far outclasses that anyway. It doesn't say it, but at level 32 you get the trait Shadowstalker which boosts sneak attacks potency. They should really add that to the tooltip. (At least this is when I noticed my sneak attack damage going up)
