As a S&S, you can use cuts to finish off mobs instead of lion shout. The difference is, that the shout also has an AoE.
And cuts can hit critical
Cuts do more damage than a shout when imbue is active; without imbue it doesn't hit anything...
When mob has little hp left, use cut when imbue is still on; and shout if ur imbue is off
And cuts are so nice to use on wizards; wham, WHAM (crit) they are a goner

Cuts also have a low mp consumption, so is more usefull in a pvp; espacially when ur snow gets critted
