Small correction: Its never possible for the copycat to wake up with another role, (Unless its vampires, werewolves, aliens masons etc.) because it copies a role from the middle. No other role is able to copy the night action of a middle card, and all switching happens way after the copycat has looked at a card. I agree that the copycat from a bluff perspective is A+, but i would argue that information wise its an A, since it is able to know a center card and also get the information that the role they viewed would normally get. One of the most powerful things to happen in a game is a copycat copying a seer, knowing all 3 center cards. It also seems to me that the side you pick as an assassin is mainly based on who you place your token on in the night phase, not so much how you play in the day phase. If your target is on the team with the least votes, you can just admit that you are assassin and team up to vote that player. If not, you will have to make up an elaborate story to make the player look like a bad guy, and fool people to vote that player. Keep it up!
If we're getting Uber Technical, it's the dusk phase that the Assassin acts, but I won't be that guy,lol. I understand the thought process behind the information the Copycat has, but a well-timed Exposer makes it so everybody knows the center cards especially tag teamed with the Revealer(who either confirms a village role or knows a minority role without P.I. or Nostradamus risk). Aura Seer can be pretty good if you know the game well enough to where you know what roles should stick out their thumbs and what won't (i.e., some minority team roles, roles that don't wake up, or roles that go after her won't stick their thumb out but that's obvious)
