Could this work?

So I've basically been trying out some different classes in my first 3ish days. Playing all kinds of things. Watching videos on classes and how they play in oRvR. One class that i honestly found pretty interesting was the SW class but not built in the way that the meta is on the current server for them. I was looking at SW built heavily around assault/skirmish lines. Heavy emphasis on kiting and mobility with a bit of burst which seems from the videos I watched seemed to be not bad, granted it was from live. That being said, I'm new here, so I want to know what I'm getting myself into. Has anyone toyed around with such a build? I understand festering arrow is strong, but is that the only way?

No FA isn't the only way. I've played SW on live as well as here and yes Assault/Skirmish is a good spec. I can speak to Skirmish more than assault on RoR as that's primarily what I play. Not maxed out on RR yet so haven't toyed with Festering Arrow and may not even when I cap out at least until the cap is raised. I played more of a AS/SK toggle to scout as needed on live but you're limited here as you already know. I like the AoE of split arrows and eye shot for an ailment to apply along with other dots prior to shadow sting. Some don't like to stance-dance but if that's what your current situation is then play it. I say build what you have the most fun.

You will need a higher rank to spec skirmish+scout without FA. It works pretty good.
