Trick Shots? Is this Call of Duty?
Great build, you would think it could be the same as other Thief builds on the site (since this is literally 'The Thief') but I love the combination of poisons with elements to give a really cool 'gadget' feel. I also like the use of the Aetherial Staff as a distraction device, as Conjuration seems too arcane for a thief.
Another thing I haven't thought of before is using Paralysis poisons to 'knockout' guards rather than killing them, which is particularly useful in Skyrim where not every dungeon is ideal for a thief and on another thief character I would have to resort to killing.
Although I understand the synergy of Illusion with a thief I think this build thrives on using gadgets or poisons rather than magic, so I personally would not use Illusion if I played this build.
I don't usually give so much feedback so hopefully I haven't waffled too much
