Wychwind is really good for boss killing. Multi-hits a ton.
Just to add to LH's post: Don't forget the awesome amount of on striking procs it triggers. With 10% ctc arrow on striking from Abrecht's, you can see a constant stream of arrows. But you can also get 18% ctc throwing knife on a crafted/rare weapon, or even 25% from

Trust me, you don't even want to know what kind of lagg hits your pc once you use wychwind with
Buzzbomb

From all the throwing skills, I call wychwind my favorite. (and maybe the old maelstrom back in Median 2008) The only thing I'd change about that would be reducing the time it takes to activate, because against moving enemies or those that teleport on being struck, it kinda sucks. And unless you play on /p 8, it's useless in general play as an AoE since it takes so long to set-up. But in ubers it's very efficient.
