Basically you are relying on your party members to make the movement to enable you to get into a flanking position and as you say a number of them are inexperienced I think you may find this difficult. For example, it works better for you if your barbarian moves into the side of an opponent and therefore you can then take up the other side - if the barbarian simply moves or charges into the front you somehow have to get around the back, which often leaves you alone in the thick of things. In fact the best way to get a flanking full attack is to encourage the opponent to charge you, then delay until your barbarian moves and flanks them, and finally make your full attack.As all of this relies on your party its rare it works (at least is was for me) and to be honest I spent most of my time using move actions to get into place and a single sneak attack. Then I had to survive a full attack sequence from each nearby opponent before getting my full round TWF sneakNext time I play a rogue I will go the spring attack route having seen other players in my group using it. Is ideal for getting a sneak (flanked) attack in and then returing to relative safety away from your opponents full attack. It takes until about 8th level or so to get tumble to the ranks needed to easily 'fast' tumble in and out of combatIt is a great idea to use your short bow in the first few moments of combat to get in some early ranged sneaks (no feats really needed for this) and then switch to a melee weapon for spring attackTwo weapon fighting and sneak attack probably comes into its own when you get consistent access to blink and greater invisibility but to be honest, i found it hard to use at lower levels and was fairly disappointed about my rogues effectiveness and survivabililty at lower levels</blockquote>
