Jabs.

WB is has a great CC and does great damage.
BJ is just a channeled finisher that gives a free "break free" to your enemy and annoys teammates that you're giving a boss a free [censored] right on the middle of battle.

If you have to choose, WB.

imho 2H has a great AoE finisher/DPS-Spreader so don't remorph that to executioner.

Biting jabs all the way... there are countless reasons why.

- It offers a cone effect essentially making it not only your main single target dmg ability but also your main AoE dmg ability.
- Burning light passive greatly increases biting jabs dmg
- BEcause biting jabs has FOUR attacks, it increases your chance of critting on each attack and proc'ing a number of armor set/ weapon enchant bonuses, invluding the scoria armor set and one of my favorite abilities, evil hunter.
- Biting jabs offers an increase to Crit chance when its used (a HUGE increase), and since it is your main dmging ability and is used very often the buff it offers is almost always active.
- Wrecking blow freezes the user in place while its channeled, biting jabs allows freedom of movement.

There are probably more reasons i am failing to mention, but you get the point.

For stamina templars biting jabs is FAR superior to wrecking blow, dont let anyone else tell you otherwise.
