Personally... I'd rather just have an inherant damage increase for attacking out of cover and not relegate it to a talent.
Absolutely.
Daggers are in a similar situation as they are only balanced around the assumption that one can Backstab with them.
1H Strength weapons have about 30% more damage than level-equivalent daggers, but using them doesn't require investing a talent in Backstab or getting behind the target to get that bonus.
