The fact is, everytime dervish skills form a niche, ppl QQ and have the skill nerfed. Yes, there were ones that were overpowered (original AoM) but then Izzy goes too far and nerfs the skill into obscurity (Avatar of Grenth).
hahahaha... please think before you post sometime...

The only so called "buffed" elite I've actually used is Zealous Vow.

Sometimes you get bored using the dervs limited number of skills so you have to be creative. I guess you could put 12 points into wind prayers along with the corresponding hood and rune, then use energy-expensive skills like Grenth's Aura along with Poius Assault. Just fill your bar up with these type of skills to take full benefit of ZV.

It may not be great, but I have more fun using builds i made and work fine for me.

I see a lot more any/D out there than D/any.
Other classes seems to make better dervs than dervs, lol.

And, yes, [Wounding Strike] is nice. Really nice. That and [Avatar of Lyssa] is probably the only viable elites available currently.
Sadness...

[onslaught]
Elite Enchantment Spell. For 5...17 seconds, you attack and move 25% faster.

[whirling charge]
Stance. For 3...13 seconds, you move and attack 25% faster than normal. This stance ends if you are not under the effects of any enchantments.

hmm well they are almost identical. They should stack right? since one is a stance and one is an enchant?

move and attack 50% faster?

[Wounding Strike], [Avatar of Lyssa], and [Avatar of Melandru] are probably the only Elites that touch my bar regularly. [Avatar of Dwayna] every once in a while for hex heavy areas.

Not to mention that combo costs you 20e, neither skill lasts its recharge, and you have to stop every 20s to cast it.

Onslaught is a worthless elite. If it were 33% and a stance, or 33% with 20s duration @10, maybe it would see play.

It would be alright with a decent way to deal deep wound with a scythe, but currently the only viable options are wounding, wearying and maybe reaper's
