Personally I'd prefer for FB to feel like less of a waste - we're likely to press it more in WoD because, with snapshotting gone, sitting on points becomes less necessary, but it's still a fairly weak ability in comparison to our DoTs, and has very little interaction other than the increased crit chance on bleeding targets and the Rip extensions sub-25%. The idea of buffing it to help with Cleave fights is a good one, but perhaps the Swipe-spreads-Rake change is enough here, and FB gets a more single-target-orientated buff?
