Invisibility potions doesnt work? how so?
You sure you keybind them and use them mid cut-throat animation?
if you let the animation play out fully it'll usually result in you getting spotted.
Best utilities for assassin imo is invis potions, paralyze potions and using arrows to misdirect the target.
Those things alone has gotten me through thieves guild, dark brotherhood, main quest, dawnguard and dragonborn and lots of other stuff on legendary difficulty.
Also, a method that i dont personally use but know can be effective, is charm, such as the imperial racial ability.
You can use that to get an additional backstab on a target, eg backstab 1 guy, the other guy comes running to you, charm him then backstab him.
Or if you're faced with a very tough opponent that takes 2 hits, stab > charm > stab.
