When I first read about the Psijic skills I was most excited about this one. I really do like this skill and solid spammable that can be used by all classes mag or Stam is really desired. The issue is the animation is very difficult to weave and extremely inconsistent accross different types of weapons.

Staves and bows are really easy, a matter of fact you can light attack > then buff the skill and it will still be applied to the previous light attack.

DW, SnB, and especially 2h have a much more difficult experience. The 2h animation takes up half the duration of the buff and makes it extremely hard and unsatisfying to use. At range it is a lot easier to target and use the skill, but in a melee environment (most certainly in PvP) either the animation needs to be cut shorter or the duration needs to be extended from 2 secs to 3 secs.

Personally I think adding 1 sec to the duration would be a great improvement, making it a lot more consistent without making it too strong.
We could see a lot more diversity to damage builds. Melee magicka styles could be opened up to sorcs and wardens, stamina classes could play ranged more outside of snipe spamming, and 2h Stam builds wouldn't be so forced into using Dizzying Swing.

If anyone else has any ideas, suggestions, or maybe tips they have learned with using this skill please let me know.
