all of them? a good pit should be able to use every aspect. fcus on one at a time

arrow rain takes a bit too long to set up and is therefore probably one you dont need to get down, but its pretty easy and pretty much comes with being able to loop your arrows so you might as well learn it. people can argue against the need of looping arrows also, but look at UndrDog, he does it beautifully and is godly for it

I don't think the looping tricks can seriously be used in high level play, especially when your opponent is putting proper pressure on you. I mean, you might be able to make an argument for a single arrow loop, but blitzing and raining are just too much set up and accomplish at most 4-8% damage MAXIMUM. There are much better things you could be doing with your time, especially considering every arrow you fire will weaken the next one coming out. After a few rains, arrows will do a piddly 2% damage per hit.

Short hopping, perfect shielding, and Shield dashing are useful for a hell of a lot of characters, but yeah...they are important for Pit as well, probably not more so then any other character who ahs a good one though.

I'll buy the usefulness of wing canceling and wing refresh...those are both pretty darn good situationally, especially the refresh for off the edge chasing, but wing Dashing...I dunno, it's really not that great of a tech really. It's okay, I suppose, but in the time that you've pressed Up+B and controlled not floating to the air and going backwards, you could have just dashed and pivotted, or simply walked to space yourself.

ok im learning wing dashing right now becuase i belive someone will figure somethhing out to were it becomes like curse me for saying it wave dashing. where its hard to win with out it. although if that happen everyone will start using pit if wing dash gets anywhere near as effective as wave dash. in tourneys all u would see are pits.
