Make it a 10s channel with a huge focus cost and no cooldown. Make me move while channeling. Let me cancel it at any time. Tune it so it's a dps increase if there are atleast 3/4/5 mobs. Probably not 3 mobs, since it would be awful to just use this ability in a council fight. More of a Darmac-style "Adds are incoming, I'm gonna plow through them for a few seconds before returning to my ST rotation".
While it would not be as convenient as Spinning Crane Kick or Bladestorm, it might give a nice bit of flavour to the class. It would also increase the skill cap a little. There are X mobs that will probably only live Y seconds, is it worth it to use it here? And as a keyboard turner, you would probably have your back to the mobs a few seconds in between, while a good player would be able to make every hit count~
