Granted, if you're talking pure pull DPS, assuming everything proccs, you get TEN seconds on Legendary Meta and Cha-Ye (your BiS trinket), and TWELVE seconds on Jade Spirit. I wonder which one's going to be stronger seeing as how to get on Breath of Hydra's level, Wush needs to scale up to 5-6. By that point, you'll lose the Meta and CY proccs, which is a significant DPS loss (granted, Wush at 10 stacks = CY + Breath, but only for 2 seconds).
Wush is simply TOO RNG to use to its full potential, plus Haste > Hit (especially with these RPPM items). Hit grants us 0 Haste as we'll just turn all we can into Crit, while we get 60% of the Haste from Breath guaranteed (since, well, you can only reforge 40% into Crit ).
Also something I think people vastly ignore: Crit Haste > Crit Hit.

- Wushoolay’s Final Choice – 0.588 RealPPM on damage/absorb from harmful abilities and spells, and periodic spells. 22 sec ICD..
- Breath of the Hydra – 0.525 RealPPM on damage/absorb from periodic spell. No ICD.
Besides the ICD being pretty cool IMO, I don't see how compared to Breath that it proccs "all the time". Breath rarely ever proccs for me, personally, so with a slightly bump in the RPPM, I don't see how it'll be that much better.
I'll agree that it's DEFINITELY not a DPS loss if it's to replace anything other than CY or Breath (again, debatable); UVLS, SPA Trinket, LotC, EoT, RoY, etc are all obviously worse than it, there's no denying that. The only problem I have is trying to line up a Combustion with HU/HS, Trinkets, and its own cooldown already. I really don't want to have to babysit stacks as well, but I would like to give it a try if a second Wush drops (well, a first one for our Lock, actually).
