I don't use slam much. My experience with it is that it's incredibly difficult to do right. With fights where you have to dance, run around, whatever, the timing gets interrupted and you fall back on cooldown spamming for a bit until the timing gets right again.
WF hotnerf also destroyed most of the effectiveness of a slam build because by delaying autoattacks, you are reducing WF procs too.
It's good in theory, but incredibly difficult to achieve in practice. When I've done practice sessions on the invincible mobs near the portal, Slam usage always came out comparable DPS to simple MS / WW / Overpower cooldown usage... and those are ideal conditions where I don't have to move. Now I don't use quartz, so I could potentially get better at Slam DPS, but I'm just not seeing a real reason to focus on it at this point.
