However, it seems to hit much slower than Jab, and my low CS dmg seems to do less dmg over time than just plain Jabbing (ie. I have 15% CB Gorerider). Starting around what level does CS start to get useful.
I also didn't try maxing LF (I use it at around slvl 14-15 only) and it's already quite powerful. I'm not using any mana steal items for the above "javazon" for now but I have a relatively large mana pool (~340+ mana with 15%mana regen from Rhyme shield) and I find that if I'm running out of mana (not that frequently, except if mana burn boss) I just gob up a super mana potion. I suppose CS doesn't use as much mana as LF?

It depends. If your lightning fury can kill crowds with 2-3 hits, than charged strike will use more mana since it takes more time to kill targets where charged strike is useful than to kill targets where lightning fury is useful. However, charged strike is still a pretty low mana user, and with the mana you have, it should be fine.
