I am just thinking in terms of best "impact" to the group which I would probably put Chosen>ALL due to auras + crit debuffing.

I will say that there is a BIG difference between single target and "total damage". For instance, on my SM I can have some CRAZY games with 100k+ damage but the fact of the matter is that it was tons of AoE and not a TON of focused damage. Like if you are throwing out Wrath, proccing P.E. and then followed with Gusting which can also proc P.E., thats gonna be a few thousand damage if there are several targets around you, but none of it incredibly useful or something a few HoTs wont fix from Destro healers. So IF I happen to have a crazy game with 100k damage, probably atleast 40k of that was some type of "fluff" damage - similar to KotBS who run with All out Assault and can put them over 100k games... I personally dont count that as "damage" as it really didnt do much in the way of helping the group and they could have run some other aura, like "To Glory" or Toughness, or resists etc since you are usually giving up something to run Assault....
That said, I have found WW > ED by a LONG shot. At first I didnt see it until running Hoeth increases effectiveness of both Spirit Blade and Wrath debuffs making WW hit pretty dang hard, combined with the silence - is HUGE.
But if you want PURE single target damage, I would suggest BO for the sheer fact that Stab you Gooder combined with Gork Smash is just a CRAZY synergy - especially for Burst damage.
