[Magus] warpfire

Base problems:
1-lower dmg compared to deamonic lash + static vs spam-on the move)
2-in 99% of situation even if daemonic lash is cone (while warpfire is 360 degree) is just better spam that due deamonic lash also benefith from your spiritual dmg debuff and do not suffer from interrupts.
3-you unlock this at rank 40 which for all other classes mean usually a good asset for the class
4-relative high CD (13 sec) for something badder than daemonic lash ( no cd base aoe spamable skill)
Further problems:
the skill is in the aoe mastery and is very similar to the bw annihilate ( same dps value, 3 sec channeling but higer CD), while bw have a higer crit rate usually on magus this is fix by do more hits during the same time spent so if you have to comprare these similar skills you see that
-dosen't mash good with magus since it should probably do 1 hit every half second rather than every 1 sec just to make it even with critical chance of bw/sorc (while pet buff do well to cover for the critical dmg more bw/sorc meccanic provide)
-the base dmg is too low per above to deamonic lash which make the whole channeling thing underperforming when being a channeling mean you can also be interrupt.
Solutions:
-Change the skill ticks from 1 every sec to 1 every half second (total 6 ticks vs currently 3) plus one of the below:
A-change from channeling to 1 sec cast then passive dmg aura type around you for 3 sec ( so remove channeling component)
B-leave it channeling but add then a dot component since engi do this better over time (this should make em more equal)
C-leave it channeling but double the total skill dmg to make it bursty compared to daemonic lash (make it more bw-ish)
D-Leave it channeling but make it undefeatable (trade dmg for chance to eb defended...well at least make base value same as daemonic lash)
Contr:
due vfx sub-solution A is ugly as you will be probably then stuck with warpfire vfx but being able to use other skills unless firther development is done / we recive new patcher
Prefered solutions
either C or D
