I've kept Blinding Powder on my /ninj stalker just so I can slot a purple set in it. Don't think you'll get much out of either in PvP though tbh. 
CoX 50s: <ill/rad> <ice/ice> <fire/kin> <grav/sonic> <ice/storm> <earth/kin> <kin/elec> <cold/psy> <thugs/dark> <fire/dark> <dark/elec> <night widow> <EM/ninj> <mind/icy>
I avoided both as my build (of debatable quality) was too tight to get them in and I would rather use the power spaces to get PS!
Golden-Phoenix - Lvl 50 Fire/Fire Tank
Oodja Nikabolokov - Lvl 50 SS/WP Brute
Baby-Phoenix - Lvl 50 Peacebringer
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could Chuck Norris?
Ive managed to squeeze in PS, i'm just wondering what would be best for PvP, set wise both seem viable, Blind and Caltrops (With Caltrops you can even get a -20% Recharge proc)
Heres the build for those curious (Built with infamy in mind);

Maybe skipping both and getting Acrobatics, though that would mean less set bonuses.
I'd say Blinding powder just for the ranged set bonus as the thing hardly ever confuses and the sleep is only a mag 2.
Defiant's GoEH/MILITIS METUS
... For a PvP built Stalker, whats best? I'm speaking Zone PvP here.
I'm obvisouly talking about the /Ninjitsu set. Char is Dual Blades(Which i know is very gimped in PvP)/Ninjitsu
[u]Blind Powder[u]
Pros: Not many squishy AT's have mez prot to Sleep or Confuse, can de-toggle and give you enough time to get an AS in. Can be used from Hide.
Cons: No good against Scrappers or Tankers, can always pop a Breakfree to get out of the mez.
[u]Caltrops[u]
(Never used this)
Pros: Slows, breakfree won't do nothing against it, Can be used from hide(?), (Also has a -Jump?)
Cons: When their planted the enemy knows your there. If someone is stood still long enough for you to use them, you may aswell AS.

Really split which one to take, ive heard Caltrops and Teleport are the perfect combo, but ive never heard nothing good about Blind Powder.
Anyone wanna share opinions on this, shed some light on it?
