These are some Stamina Sorcerer DW/Bow Build and Rotation for use in Stonethorn.
Massive thank you to Rosskag, who has provided us with the video and the details below.

Here we have two parses - one with the new Sorcerer Spammable, Crystal Weapon. And one with Rapid Strikes.
Crystal Weapon is an interesting one, it provides a group debuff that reduces enemy armour by 1,000. On the dummy, Rapid Strikes proves to be slightly stronger, but with Crystal Weapon looks to be a winner if the debuff ends up impacting Blue CP allocation, and also due to the fact that instant cast abilities are generally more favourable than channelled skills, such as Rapid Strikes, in a multitude of encounters.

Blue CPs for Practicing on the Dummy
- Master-at-Arms 56, Physical Weapon Expert - 3,
Thaumaturge 48, Piercing 55, Precise Strikes 52, Mighty 56
Blue CPs in Raid:
The number of points into piercing depends on several factors that may or may not be present in your group, therefore you could try and calculate this yourself since it's hard to give a universal recommendation. Any Blue CP left over as a result of taking out from Piercing, can feasibly go anywhere - just try to hit those breakpoints.
Main considerations:
Tremorscale: -2395 Physical Penetration
Sorcerer Spammable: -1000 Physical Penetration
Precise Weapon instead of Sharpered +1638 Physical Penetration
Alkosh bonus: VARIABLE Physical Penetration
Example CPs:
Weapon Master 81, Physical Weapon Expert 6,
Thaumaturge 48, Piercing 5, Precise Strikes 66, Mighty 64

Rotation
This rotation is a 10-second rotation because Arrow Barrage, Poison Injection, Rending Slashes and Consuming Trap are each 10 seconds long.
The minimum back bar rotation is: Arrow Barrage - Poison Injection. You should also cast Hurricane roughly on cooldown if possible, otherwise, every other rotation is fine.
The minimum front bar rotation is Rending Slashes - Consuming Trap and with 4 stacks use Bound Armaments.
If Barbed Trap needs to be reapplied, then you can do so on cooldown or roughly every other rotation. Rest of time you can cast your spammable and use Bound Armaments when there are 4 stacks.
During execute, the rotation remains unchanged, although if you find a way to slot Whirling Blades, you can use this as the main spammable.
Spam = Rapid Strikes or Crystal Weapon
Simple Static Rotation:
Start:
- Summon Unstable Clannfear - Bound Armaments - Ulti
Repeat:
- Endless Hail - Poison Injection - Hurricane - Barbed Trap
- Bound Armaments - Rending Slashes - Consuming Trap - Spam - Bound Armaments - Spam x 4 - Bound Armaments
