No daily powers allowed.
I can do 117 points of damage (on average) to Mongo with Talisker, Eladrin Brawny Rogue: (STR16, DEX18, Con10, INT10, WIS12, CHA12), Short Sword, Backstabber, Piercing Strike, Torturous Strike.
Piercing Strike
+7 vs Reflex, 1d6+4 damage
Miss on a 1-6 (0 damage * .30 = 0)
Hit on a 7-19 (7.5 damage * .65 = 4.875)
Crit on a 20 (10 damage * .05 = .5)
Total expected damage per round = 5.375
Piercing Strike with Sneak Attack and flank
+9 vs Reflex, 1d6+4+2d8+3 damage
Miss on a 1-4 (0 damage * .20 = 0)
Hit on a 10-19 (19.5 damage * .85 = 16.575)
Crit on a 20 (22 damage * .05 = 1.10)
Total expected damage per round = 17.675
Tortuous Strike
+7 vs. AC 2d6+7
Miss on a 1-9 (0 damage * .45 = 0)
Hit on a 10-19 (14 damage * .50 = 7)
Crit on a 20 (19 damage * .05 = .95)
Total expected damage per round = 7.95
1 round tortuous strike + 4 rounds piercing strike + 5 rounds piercing strike w/sneak attack and flank = 117.825
Can you do better?
