Anyone who has the stats can go MC Warlord and swap for Guileful Switch, which is stat-independent and awfully handy. Probably makes that particular Healing MC case sky blue unless your base class has really good level 6 utilities.

Hmm...

I'm not sold on it. I can see where it would be useful, but a utility swap costs a feat, costs the initial utility power, *and* controls which class you MC to. That's not a trivial cost. For the utility swaps, I'm really (at the moment) mostly looking for strong at-wills - the things that (like native flight and teleport) really open up your options tactically and/or give you significant benefits out of combat - or, barring that, daily powers that can seriously change the dynamic of one encounter a day (like the platinum scales trick). I'm sure that there are encounter utilities that I'd find sufficiently impressive, but...

For an example of the level we're looking at, the native teleport trick just naturally includes immunity to movement-based opportunity attacks, the ability to ignore difficult terrain, the ability to largely ignore obstacles and dangerous terrain, and an effective immunity to immobilization and slow. - plus a number of other handy features. (and yes, it *is* a personal favorite, and I'm looking forward to being able to exploit it in my next character)

Also, I've heard strange stories of odd combos involving Guileful Switch. I honestly don't think Guileful Switch was intended to give you a free move and standard action, though it's written a bit poorly.

Sneak Attack is a great class feature for Sorcerers and Warlocks who use daggers as implements. Since their attack spells are from a light blade, they can use Sneak Attack damage like it was any other Rogue Power.

It's functional, and might even be dark blue in that case, but they still need combat advantage, and it still only hits one target, once per encounter. Also, this is trying to be advice for general cases. "Sorcerers and Warlocks who use daggers as implements" starts to stray away from that. In any case, it's not enough of an exception to specifically break them out of the pack - especially when so many of those sorcerers are multiclassing to rogue for paragon paths anyway. (on a side note, sorcerers *also* really like the barbarian multiclass - +2 per damage roll goes a long way when you're focused on hitting lots of people with area effects. That's not enough reason to break barbarians out of the pack *either*.
