52 lingering damage will almost always be less than poison, and wind based mages are generally accepted as the weakest of the four elemental focuses. This doesn't hold a candle to sear tiles, lightning criticals, or three digit magnetize. I'm not sure of the context, or what kicked your ass with wind slasher, but I wouldn't even put this on the radar of things needing revision. It's good -- but not a whole lot beyond just good.
