Yes this is correct. you are not doing damage with lightning damage so we dont add more points to iron spiral we just want WDM it provides and do damage with physical damage / Crushing blow. you could add more points to it if you want more lightning damage and attack rating tho.

To me it looks like stormblast does less damage than iron spiral. Stormblast may does constant damage, but Iron spiral instantly hits for a huge chunk of damage.
So when I compared these 2 skills I was wondering if it's still the same in endgame. I simply can't imagine that stormblast will be of any use, considering just how many times Iron spiral hit. Plus Iron spiral has a much wider AoE, making it much more useful.
Can you please confirm/disapprove?
Actually Stormblast outscales iron spiral on single target damage when you get more crushing blow from wolf stance. Stormblast hits multiple times and much more than iron spiral. Iron spiral is much better in crowds tho since its AOE is much higher than Stormblasts.
