Is it though? the damage buff ain't that massive and its a one time use. Usually you do more damage with absolute death, far more reliable.

If you build enough strength for it to actually matter, you are usually sacrificing alot of evade which ya need to even pull it off.
I am not against alternatives, but the testing so far left me pretty underwhelmed as it slows your whole fighting style down by a lot for barely even finding any use.
