If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

Due to 'balance', they should do more damage than melee assassin strike due to having a 7.33sec or 8sec animation time (Soul/Mu have 7.33sec, Mace has 8sec). :3 Cut the animation by a few seconds and then they deserve to do less damage, haha.

Yes, but being ranged, they can be fired much more safely, with no risk of being hit by errant AoEs, or transferred aggro when a teammate dies or flees. The reduction in damage is the cost for the increase in safety.
Of course, if it's the same damage scale as Assassin Strike, but using the Ranged Damage modifier rather than Melee Damage, it'll be lower automatically anyways.

This isn't so much a suggestion, as me asking for opinions from other players.
If Stalker Snipes were given the Assassin Strike treatment (Range, Accuracy, Endurance, Recharge left the same, shorter non-interruptable animation with similar damage to the current version with a chance to crit when used unhidden, and long version with an actual Assassin strike when hidden), would they become worth using?
