The scene where he "mis-fired" shows us that if anything he is resourceful at finding where and when people are going to be. Fortune saved those pool fools not Slayers lack of skills :p
Personally, I still think Taim was the one who sent him to kill Rand, not to mention we know that the Asha'man knew where Rand wa staying.
I think people over think this whole murder mystery. We know from numerous examples that Ishamael puts names on his "hitlist" as do other forsaken and even Taim. This is a method the shadow uses period. Lanfear said she was putting Asmo on the "list" so to speak. She had time between the end of tSR and the end of tFoH to do this. So it would be in no way shape or form a stretch to think that the shadows assassin would be informed of the new target...
The problem isn't that he couldn't have been ordered to kill Asmo, but that he could have found him and killed him. He couldn't even kill Fain in the Two Rivers, even with the help of hundreds of Trollocs.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
i think i found a new stick to beat the dead asmo horse

Very unlikely that the patron was Taim...
