Forcewave without Tremor; viable?

While I like Forcewave, I don't like it to use it with Tremor as my basic attack. As such, I've been trying to make a build which uses Forcewave without Tremor but more like a regular 2.8sec CD spell.

However, comparing T-FW to regular FW it seems that the latter is rather underpowered and lacks incentives to fully invest in it.

For example, damage wise it seems more efficient to invest in Blitz. A level 1 Blitz with 1 point in Blindside does the same damage as a level 11 FW with 1 point in Rending Force and Tremor. A lvl16 Blitz does a lot more damage then a lvl16 FW, dealing both more physical damage as very valuable % weapon damage.
The main upside to FW is its range, and it allows you to clear medium sized groups in 1 hit; something Blitz can't do. But is that worth it? I know that Blitz and FW act differently, but the comparison is still informative.

Has anyone made a build which successfully uses FW without Tremor? Do you use it as a main damage spell?

Let me know what you think!
