I haven't had an enemy survive a dual power sneak attack yet.
Add some enchantments and poison to that (or even a pair of gloves that doubles your sneak attack damage again) and you're an instrument of death.
I've gotta say, stealth gameplay in Skyrim is hugely satisfying.
*I think. I'll confirm later.

Oh and to add to smithing power leveling, not sure if these bonuses stack but if they do it's +30% to the leveling rate.
Take the Lover's Stone bonus for +15% learning rate to all skills (located not very far east and a bit north from Markath, NW of a mine that's on the road directly east).
And do a quest for a female Argonian from the Riften docks. She will send you to a nearby dwemer ruin to clear and you will gain a +15% smithing learning rate too. Unfortunately I didn't do this quest until after I hit 100 smithing lol.
