Erekose13: Well, shadow walk is Brd 5 because it lets you move up to 1000 miles with no danger of failure, unlike teleport, and gives you perfect accuracy +/- a few hundred feet. Rope trick, on the other hand, is altering the fabric of reality at level 2 already. The real problem with the Tumble spell, though, would be that you've now effectively avoided all attacks of opportunity altogether, though you need to be moving half-speed while doing so. That's a whole nother spell, and not particularly flavorful.
Velmont: While I like the idea, your spell, like the Tumble spell, is very much a different spell from the one I had in mind. I don't think it's too strong, though; it's basically blur only while you're moving, which sets it nicely at a single level below blur, and displacement with a double move, and normally you don't tend to take as many AoOs with a double move, since you have another six squares that lets you move around creatures to get where you need to go.
Maybe if stutterstep just plain made you insubstantial and invisible during parts of the move? Technically, though, you'd still be doing the same thing, only with the Ethereal Plane instead of the Plane of Shadow.
