Swirling strike, when used, damages up to 5 targets surrounding the ranger, is a whirl finisher for only the duration of the attack (3/4 seconds), but reflects projectiles for about another second after the skill has ended, for around two seconds total.
Make whirling defense like this. Have you character do a spin attack, while moving of course, that does decent damage to up to 5 surrounding opponents, while also reflecting projectiles for about another second after the skill ends. Drop the recharge to 15 seconds or so too to compensate for the loss in total reflection uptime.
I say this mainly from a pvp perspective, but I think it would go a good way in making the skill more usable for that game format.
