Actually, OHK Poison Cloud, which I do most of the time now, is just as fast. Pyre isn't too bad either, but I barely use my mage on regular mobs as it is just more junk essence (I have enough to refine as it is).
Cleave has one pop up. Poison cloud has two. Cleave has significantly higher base damage as well causing more one hit kills. Riposte-assassinate all cause more pop ups additionally. In speed runs with equal SW/justis, the difference becomes apparent very quickly in speed.
