You really think giving dropping delay by 7 for a single swing in the RSSS case is worth more than the dmg bonus from 15 dmg vs 12 dmg on backstab?
On average? Probably. Think about it as averages. If your average BS with a ragebringer is 300 and your average backstab with a TS is 280 (random numbers to make a point) then yes, I could easily see the damage bonus making up for the deficient in a lower backstab.

Mainhanding a 15 damage dagger doesn't suddenly make every backstab do 150 more damage, it just skews your average backstab damage a bit to the right on a bell shaped curve.
