In the context of what we are discussing here, Sea Gorgets are a poor gear choice.

Atma of the Lion(? I think thats Fire:Major)

Lion is lightning, Smoldering sky is fire.

Back on topic, it does kind of suck that the Axe WS is so poor. People are right though, it can be boosted substantially with Atmas, Meds and /Rdm (why do people use and talk about /blm when /rdm gets the same MAB boost by the way?). Realistically, there are probably situations where Cloudsplitter is the right choice, depending on what you're fighting. We're just not in a position to regularly boost up our MAB to take full advantage of it like COR for example.

Also, for the sake of it. Here's a pretty complete build for CloudSplitter:
Ugly Pendant
Twilight Mail
Twilight Helm
Flame Sachet
Suzaku's Sune-ate
Fortis Mantle
Aqua Ring
Aqua Ring
Novio Earring
Hecate's Earring
Heafoc Mitts
Teutates subligar

Because Wizard's Roll gets a bonus from BLM or /BLM being in your party.

IF there where any forums or sits that said anything about Cloudsplitter being < or = primal rend i would have made the bow and then got a charmers merlin. or maybe i didn't look in the right place for that info. Inside or outside of abyssea cloud will never compare to rampage.

Yeah I hear ya there wasn't much info on it. I'm currently making farsha. While it not having huge #'s is sorta crappy I am still gonna finish it. Considering it's the best option for my Bst. Not interested in putting the time/effort and huge amount of gil into a mythic.

Out of curiosity do you have the corresponding lightning gorget/belt? Also what are you using as your off hand weapon? I'm doing the empy, and occ attk 2-4 axe. Spose worst case scenario I can use cloudsplitter to have aftermath active then spam rampage/primal rend till aftermath needs to be reapplied.
