Multiclassing that much is generally a bad idea, and Shadowdancer is pretty weak.
I'd just go either Urogue or Slayer depending upon what type of build you want. Urogue for a Dex build and more skills, plus Major Magic is awesome. (I like Shield for the +4 AC, but there are other good choices.) Slayer is more of a brawler with some roguishness thrown in.
As to being a skirmisher - go Scout archetype. You could trade out trapfinding for the Knife Master archetype to get your SA up to d8s. Take the River Rat trait & the Pharasma feat to boost your daggers.
Your other trait should be Armor Expert so that you can wear a mithril breastplate without proficiency. (technically you'll take a penalty equal to its armor check penalty... of -0)
And you are correct - getting Evasion twice doesn't get you Improved Evasion.
What do you want from shadowdancer?

Guess the Multi-classing is the remnant of 3.5 on me.
Yeah - between the Favored Class Bonus, classes being much less top heavy (good mid-high level abilities), and prestige classes being generally weak - Pathfinder definitely shifted away from the heavy multi-classing of 3.5.
I'm with you though - I remember that my last 3.5 character ended up with 5+ classes including multiple prestige classes.
If you're considering a multi-class character, an Unchained Barbarian actually works very well with an Unchained Rogue. The new rage feature just has a flat bonus to-hit and to damage which will work with your dex-based attacks. The class will also let you have a bit more "beef" so that you can be more combat-focused.

since everything seems to be immune to sneak attack,
One thing you may have not noticed since the 3.5 switch - not much is immune to SA in Pathfinder. It now works against undead & constructs. About the only thing immune are elementals.
Though you're right about having Truesight etc. You might consider going the Improved Feint route, eventually getting Two Weapon Feint or using Moonlight Stalker Feint with smoke pellets. (amusingly enough - Truesight doesn't get to ignore smoke)
But you're right - Assassin is pretty weak. Plus, you couldn't reasonably keep the Pharasma feat while being evil.

When looking at ways for an Unchained Rogue to get a sneak attack on their own, I would recommend Canny Tumble for a single attack, combined with Circling Mongoose for a full-attack sneak attack on your own :)
The biggest issue I see is that you want a highly mobile rogue but you also want two weapon fighting.
Using twf to the fullest means standing still and full attacking. You need a plan for working around this or you are highly likely to find your concept to be highly frustrated.

Eventually a Kitsune can get pounce. When combined with the Scout archetype it can be pretty effective and mobile.
But really, there's a limit to how mobile you can be in Pathfinder.
