Bashing, absolutely. As a Blademaster, even after adjustments, I'm much better off jabbing with a dagger than using drawslash to hunt. You can also wear better armour and wield a shield.
How is it you find using an obsidian dagger to field you more damage than your blademaster ability which from what I am aware is decent damage for PvE? What is your level of experience and fielded traits presently?

You are level 102 (4th Heir to Ashaxei's Legacy) and 36% of the way to the next level.
Alchemist has decent bashing speed, but they also get extra sip amount and extra crit chance with their class skills. I mean, that doesn't necessarily translate to Numb/Transmute level tanking, but needless to say it's pretty neat.

As a Blademaster, there's no reason for me to ever use Drawslash in Mir.
