Or wait for FM stalkers with BLAZE!|

As to the chasing down runnings, unless your primary/secondary set for stalkers has a ranged attack, you'll have to pick something up from the patron power pools...that won't change, so either kill them quicker or deal with runners. |
I ended up getting rid of my em stalker after the ET change, and I enjoyed my clawlz stalker mostly because of focus, but never really got into /wp that much and ended up deleting it.
lack of ranged attacks causing me to run after things is probably why my collection of toons is about 85% ranged AT's

extremely unlikely that Stalkers would get Blaze when Fire Melee is pretty well established. It's a pretty safe bet they'll get Incinerate.|

Scorch, Fire Sword, Cremate, Assassin's Blaze, Build Up, Placate, Breath of Fire, Incinerate and GFS (this would be my guess)

Very durable with dual layers of damage mitigation using both Defense and Resistance coupled with a good heal and tier 9 God-mode, Power Surge. I've seen my buddy crash from Power Surge...hit a blue...hit Energize...and Power Sink...and keep rollin' in mob's corspes
The difference as I see it for Ninjutsu versus Willpower is one utility set for another. Nin is more defensive with a good heal and some tricks, where WP is over time heals/regen rate with some defense and resistance rolled in. Nin has a "god-mode" and WP has a self-rez. So it depends on what attributes you are looking more for your PvP toon. |
It's not as strong as other God-modes, but it doesnt drop you to zero END either.
WP for stalkers has a burst heal, instead of the usual regen power the other (Scrapper/Brute/Tanker) WPs get.

I would totally play a Stone Melee Stalker. Also, add me to the list of people who want Ice/.
back on the topic, though, I had plans for a Broadsword Stalker. Big plans, ones that would be all bright and shiny and ninja-y. However I ran the thing through Mids and decided that Ninja Blade would probably work just as well. =/
However, style > substance. There's a reason why War Made/ Energy Armor Brutes were so well-liked before their respective buffs.

I really like having a strong ranged attack on my melee toons to minimize chasing after things that run away cause I'm wailing on their buddy. I however, don't really like waiting until the 40's for that to become an option.
