is shadow assassin and critical assassination worth getting?

[Toucan]

Should I get them or save my points for other abilities?

If you go wiht a sneak build they are worth it if not no. Basicly get an assassin gearset for when you use those skills. If you have a warrior/hunter build with gear and no assassination items at all (you can have multiple sets with you and switch betveen them fairly fast) you wont be doing much damage with assassinations. However if you get an assassination set for infiltrations then it is very good as you can oneshot elites and mercs with it.

Thanks for the answer, what about stealth master, battlecry of ares and overpower bow strike?

Overpower bowstrike is such a huge increse in damage that it is worth taking on any build IMO, and not only for the damage but for the knockdown effect also.

Stealth master depends on your playstyle, if you sneak around a lot then it is worth it, if not then no.

Battlecry of Ares is an ability i love, not for the damage increse but for the immortality. It helps a lot vs masses of enemies or against bosses/mercs that you might have problems with. When it is active you can not die, deathblows will just put you on 1hp instead.
