[WH] Atonement + Jagged Edge.

Comes to think of it, did anyone tried recently the Abso spam build, but with Atonement + Jagged Edge, to keep Jagged Edge dot permanently running on target? If so, how is the dmg?
Edit: Or, since the accusation gain is bugged, possibly something like this:

And with using regular 5 accusations Absolution as finisher, for mostly guaranteed high Absolution crits + keeping Jagged Edge running on target.

Issue is Absolution spam is only worth it using Flowing accusation, otherwise it's still a gamble either or not you will crit with your finisher.
Even maxing out your crit chances (letting you with a lower strength score) around 25% will net you only 50% chances, at best, to crit on absolution; and it's only working on one skill.
So trying to get 5 accusation to get a crit at best half the time is not worth the tactic investment.
It's far better to use Flowing accusations + Fanatical cleansing and spam 2 or 3 stacks finishers as often as possible. You will get nice 1k2 crits pretty often, and with luck you can get Flowing Accusations proc 3-4 times in a row for a big burst window.
Jagged edge is nice but since it cannot crit or get % dmg increases, it is underwhelming for a ST focused class. It's nice on Choppa/Slayer/WL and mara and all AoE classes, but on WH/WE it's not that good especially since JE's damage is tied to your STR, thus reduced by enemy's Toughness.

WH tactic slots are really constrained already, can't fit in JE in without dropping something that is better than it. JE also does really lackluster damage on ST, it's more of aoe scoreboard damage padding type of thing for classes like SL.
