Rogues and sneak attack question

Blinking works against creatures with blindsight and provides better protection against area attacks.

There you go. Now that's the real reason Blink is better.

I didn't think of that. I assumed that since your foe is denied dex due to your intermittent invisibility, then blindsight would negate it. However, since you are invisible WHEN you are ethereal, blindsight won't pick you up. Sweet, so I can sneak attack dragons after all...

I'm not sure about that. When blinking, you "attack as an invisible creature". Someone with blindsight doesn't lose their Dex bonus against an invisible attacker, so blinking wouldn't do anything for you.

A dragon without see invisibility ?

Yes, but that's because normally, someone with blindsight can detect you while you are invisible. However, when you are blinking, you are ethereal, and blindsight does not pick you up. Would a See Invisible work vs. a blinking character?

EDIT: I answered my question: it says under Blink that SI reduces the miss chance of blinking to 20%...also no sneak attack.
