If you remove Tsubame from the equation, or rework it to make it a better tool that doesn't force you into a GCD tier, then SkS becomes pretty viable.
Even a 5-second grace period between the Iajutsu's completion and Tsubame Gaeshi becoming unavailable would do wonders for it.

Though I have to wonder, honestly, why they force it to be used in the immediately following GCD at all. We have other unlocked skills that are prepped for at least 10 seconds -- some, indefinitely.
