Onslaught - Worth it?

Yeh, so, Onslaught got buffed... It used to be about reducing energy use, or whatever?
Either way, it's an Elite Enchantment spell, 5e 1/4cast & 20 recharge, that lasts 17 at 12 Wind Prayers (20,4 seconds, thus maintainable, with an enchant mod). What it does? It makes you 25% faster in movement AND attack speed... So, what do you guys think? Is it worth it to use over the other elites?

PS. Currently running a build like this;
[Mystic Sweep][Victorious Sweep][Chilling Victory][Zealous Sweep][Attacker's Insight][Aura of Holy Might (Luxon)][Onslaught][Sunspear Rebirth Signet]
At 12+1+2 Scythe Mastery, 11+1 Wind Prayers & 6+1 Mysticism, and honestly,... It works like a breeze.

PvE wise , nothing beats constant avatars ( e.g. Avatar of Balthazar to tank , Dwayna works as a good tank as well , Lyssa to spam , Grenth is a very good Avatar because it gives you additional DPS and heal regen back )

PvP Wise , Wounding Strike would be the best ( with an enchant you get a spammable cover deep wound every 3 seconds ) followed by Reapers sweep for its high damage + enchant removal if foe is above 50% hp or deep wound if foe is below 50% but the 8 second recharge is quite long.

Your build isnt bad, i'd suggest you swap zealous sweep for [Lyssa's Assault] ( more energy then zealous sweep ) and together with attackers insight, you can get lots of energy back. i'd rather you go 12+1+1 for scythe mastery , 11+1 for wind prayers and 6+1 on earth prayers. with attackers insight to maintain energy, you dont need that extra 2 energy whenever an enchant ends on you from 7 mysticism

Yeah , anti condition is good in lots of places cause conditions can be found almost everywhere lol . i dont mind using AoD + antidote signet for 100% blind condition removal and an extra hex removal + heal. yeah , if you plan your skills properly , you can constantly keep 33% IAS up if im not wrong
I wouldn't call it a buff...it wasn't that great before and still sucks now.

Onslaught would only be good if they made it 33% IAS, IMS and recharge on attacks.

Tbh, it can easily be stripped, and with it's long recharge, I see no benefit in taking it over any of the avatars.
