It's different. Not better, not "way better" merely different.
Ok I lied. Hundred Blades isn't just different to Cyclone axe.. it's also way way better.

It's like saying Eviscerate is better than Dismember because it's like Dismember and Executioner's Strike in one... nah homie, it's elite. In the grand majority of the cases, Dismember will be the better option. It completly depends on how you rate a skill. Do you base your rating on the majority of cases? Or do you base it on the combo you can work a skill into that not only doubles, but tripples or quadrouples your output? Lets say I was a War/Curses Necromancer who uses Mark of Pain. In that scenario I would say that Hundred Blades is the better choice.
There is a reason that HB got the nerf bat last BWE, it doubles per hit damage, akin to double shot, plus hits those around. HB got elite status because of its many uses, and damage got increased. So, I would say that each skill has it's uses.

then the ideal skill list would consist of mostly elite skills. Two elite skills can not be in the same build; if you use Hundred Blades or Eviscerate, you're in most cases leaving out what is probably a much better elite skill. The only reason I would take either of them would be if I have a build without an elite skill. That rarely happens. Cyclone axe is not so much worse than hundred blades, to warrant a difference between elite and not. In fact, they are quite comparable in use. cyclone Axe has a wider radius, +4-10 damage and a half-time recharge. For PvE, Cyclone Axe is loads better. For PvP, imo, 100 blades is better, because there aren't so many crowded situations. I don't deem either worthy of taking in pvp, however. Even before it was elite, I didn't really take it. They are, like Crude Swing, more PvE oriented skills. Much rather take Savage Slash in PvP.
