Change for Steel Cyclone?

[Phoenicia]

yeah. as a WAR i find myself able to burst down, depending on the instance, around 15~25% HP from a large mob. however, using Steel Cyclone all by itself just because of its properties isn't going to contribute anything to the over-all damage during the encounter. it is like only 1~2% damage to HP.

You are really deluded if you think 1.5k is "only 1~2%" of a mob's HP. You're assuming trash mobs have 100k HP each? They have at most 30k and pumping a Steel Cyclone will remove at least something between 3~7% depending on crits/zerk.
