grief/lastwish phase blade combo frenzier... Effective?

Hello fellow barbarian users, if you didn't get it from my title I plan on slapping my newly obtained PBgrief and my favorite sword, my last wish pb, on a frenzy barbarian. I've spent time reading about frenzy mechanics, and I think this outfitting will be great for bosses AND small fries alike.

I've tried frenzy before and it's an awesome skill. I'm a big fan of speed (hence the phase blades haha), but I never did much damage with frenzy. My first question is:

*Will the grief transfer all of the +damage (357 damage in this case) to each weapon swing, or will it be taken into account even when my lastwish hand swings? (like how just holding grief adds to a smiters smiting damage)*

If in fact the damage is universal, this combo will be amazing. with the might aura, 39% ias on my grief (which will be my primary weapon, the only weapon who's ias is taken into account if i understand correctly. I'll be maxed at 5 attacks/second) and the 70% cb from my last wish, I should be able to destroy the usual zombies and oblivion knights with ease along with bosses and ubers. My second question is this:

*Does the crushing blow from my Last Wish only count for swings with the Last Wish, or is it also counted for grief swings as well?* I'm fairly certain it's only for LW, but I'd like to be sure.

Thank you for help and opinions :)... I'll also wear (in case you're curious) an archon plate CoH, arreats, 20ias blood gloves, gores, dungos, and an ammy to be named later...
