Shadow Strike uses melee damage, not power damage, so power damage only effects electric slash, and IMO that is plenty strong as it is
Actually apparently it is currently bugged and gets power damage too, not just melee, though I have heard people say that it will probably be fixed soon, so currently putting points into Shadow does give extra damage to Strike.
I like your build (used it a few times) because it gives you electric slash too, so you can set up tech explosions with Shadow Strike - I love using Strike against phantoms and nemesis. I brought that build out on Gold but I mainly stuck with using electric slash because it was safer to kill from a distance (and a quicker way to kill mobs of minor enemies than SS) and used strike when viable/as quick way to get to someone who needed a rez.
