Don't forget skill adaptation (return strike).

Good is relative, the weakness against armor is a big deal, unless armor is rare for some reason. Even so, tough clothing can be effective armor against sw-2. Sure, you can improve damage, but that takes points not spent on a higher chance to hit. Again, I'd look at innate attack for a truly cinematic whipslinger. (And the suffix -slinger doesn't automatically mean +20 points; price it for what you get.)
