So what I got from the answers is that effective talentlevel 5 should have the effects from talent level 5? But when I have my Trap on level 4, with x1.30 which makes it 5,2 I didn't seem to get the level 5 Trap. Does it not work for active abilitys? Yeah, trap mastery's trap type section calls get...

Are you sure those are stacks and not just debuff duration? I don't think the number of counterstrikes you can pull off per successful block is affected by anything other than Riposte's talent level.
