Am I The Only One That (sorta) Hates WMS?

Like, it's pretty much a mandatory at will who's only purpose is to make it so your overall at will dmg isn't terrible.
Rather than being a situational or optional utility at will or w/e, like the other classes.
For example Rogues, 4 situational at wills that have their place, ranged one, slow dps one, fast mobile one, and a arguable useful utility one.
WMS pretty much commands a spot on your at will bar so you really only get to choose 1 of 3 overall. I wish they'd change it to be a utility At Will (although it sort of IS, but only utility is to make you do more at will dmg lol), such as making it so you ACTUALLY teleport behind your target after you hit them like it says, so you could use it to stick to targets, or dodge attacks and what not.
Not to mention it's annoying have to use this clunky WMS after every at will combo so your dmg doesn't suck. Where as other classes you can just spam w/e at will as filler and get your full dmg.

That's a feat that does that....
And it IS a necessity, what build would ever NOT use it? Not using it basically means your doing a lot less at will dmg, plain and simple.
And deft strike is a 60-80 ft range skill, this would still be somewhat melee.
No other class has to use a specific at will and alternate it with their other at will to do their normal dmg.
Are you my ******* nemesis brother from another monther?
Ill bring popcorn. Anyone want powdered butter on theirs?
I prefer to just think of it as illusions.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you have not played a rogue, or any other class outside of GWF, at level 60. I can tell you, for a fact, that Rogue's are in the exact same boat. If you are not using Duelist's Fury as a rogue you are terrible and deserve to be kicked from every group every time.
If anything, GWF's class at-will (WMS) is the least mandatory of the one's I've seen. 10% buff to at-will damage? Utterly achievable with other options such as Plaguefire off Sure Strike. If anything, GWF are one of the few classes that don't need their class at-will if you bust out your wallet.
Of course, when considering targets hit over time WMS becomes much, much less skippable. Since GWF seem content to build for single-target even though it's terrible I suppose it's skippable by a minority of super geared end-game GWF. I doubt this is true for Rogue's, at the very least.
As for alternating at-wills, Rogue's can alternate Duelist's Fury with Gloaming Cut for absurd damage. The only reason Rogue's aren't doing this now is because Duelist's Fury is incredibly OP, after the nerf expect to see this more often.
