Lae'zal plus weapon master will crush Astarion dpr wise (although you can always bring both).
When (if) multiclass is in the game just get another 5 levels of fighter or ranger and Thief will be the king of DPR with 4 attack per round + sneak attack. Ranger can add hunter's mark to that and Battlemaster adding potentially another sneak attack through Riposte.
All of this however still doesn't make any sense beause Thief in 5e is not supposed to be focused on dpr.

Why 4? 5 Rogue - 5 Fighter or Ranger has 2 Attacks on the Attack action, plus a potential 1 Bonus attack with two-weapon... one of those will have sneak attack, but not all.
Thief can perform a second offhand attack with his extra bonus action.
I havent started up the game for a while but where does the extra bonus action come from? Did Larian put it in because I see no 'you gain another bonus action' line in the PHB...

Unless you are referring to the 'fast hands' feat but that doesent specify you can use it to attack either confused
