A respectful suggestion, but if I was going to post a build called "The Nightblade" I would try to keep it pretty close to the class that it's nameed after. However, when I make up a variation, I usually come up with a new name to differentiate it, and signify the Unique content. nothing against your build, I've even done something extremely similar I called a "Necroblade" (Yeah, you can use that.) to signify the use of Necromancy with the more traditional skills of a Nightblade. (Conjuration was never one of them.) Also, I'm not saying that this doesn't belong in the Nightblade section, where else would you put it? I just can't really accept it as The Nightblade.

You're welcome. Having played this build for the last few days, I can say that it is a surprisingly fast paced build and levels up rather quickly as well. I was level 20 after just a few hours of play and i wasn't even power leveling. However I was also never overwhelmed by enemies scaling up too fast. If i could give this a second like I would. This is definitely my favorite stealth build. I will say that the only con to this, is that i feel like i have to force myself to level restoration, but i also realize that its a means to an end for necromage.
P.S. (Sorry for long post) I feel that this build, after level 50, would be great with alchemy in order to gain temporary 100% shout reduction leading to some insane special move potential. Ex: Aura Whisper+Throw Voice+Slow Time+assassins blade+shadow warrior+ritual stone. You would Know where everyone was, make them turn their backs to you, and kill them all so fast that no one see you and then immediately raise an army. Good if you know a boss is in the next room.

I was able to fix the OPness by using a Greatsword instead. This doesn't work with Backstab, much less Assassin's Blade, so it becomes much less boring with some of the more powerful enemies requiring more than one hit to kill. You can put a real dent in them first, though.
Here's the particulars. Also, try posting here for more recommendations.

I like the re-vamp too, just the right balance between game mechanics, and in character silliness. The Silent Roll/Critical Charge combo still doesn't proc Assassin's Blade, though. (Just re-tested to see if that was patched.) If you turn on the HuD, and check your top left corner, you get the Critical Damage, and of course the double from a Power Attack, but not the 3-6-15X from Backstab>Shrouded Gloves>Assassin's Blade. Sorry.
However, it's still a good technique when you don't have any Invisibility mechanic, because you can ambush them from the shadows before they (Or their friends) can react, and it staggers so they can't counter. So, you can finish them quick to get your body...
Also, instead of the Ritual Stone (Assume you already used it that night) with Twin Souls you can Thrall 2 Master Vampires, who also Raise Dead, and even give a follower a Staff of the Revenant. (Or just use Eola, she already Resurrects Zombies.) It's not an instahorde, but grows like a necroforce should. Also, the Master Vampires use Drain Health, Weapons, and Armor (You can arm them up before you raise them) as well as Eola, so you can have a coupe Necroknights, and another Necroblade (She's really a spellsword, with Conjuration) in your entourage.
Just some suggestions, take it, or leave it.

do you think this build would be viable with alteration instead of light armor because with any caster or sneaky build I find armor skills don't level fast enough to be viable when your detected
