Katana Question: Sting of the Wasp or Flashing Steel

Im leveling up a Kat/Invuln and Kat/Dark to the 20s to see what I like better. On the Kat/Invuln I took Sting of the Wasp as my 2nd attack, however looking at Flashing Steel, it is only a 1s longer recharge, same activation and although 10 points lower dmg, it is a Cone so more foes hit, so my question is for early leveling should I take Flashing or SotW?

I assume they will recognize futile just as accurately.

I usually take Flashing Steel because I always play with large amounts of enemies.

I'd go with flashing until the higher lvls where you may want a better attack chain. (even then you don't really need SotW though)

Flashing Steel definitely. You can easily manage an attack chain with Gambler's Cut, Divine Avalanche, Soaring Dragon and Golden Dragonfly. GC and DA both recharge so fast that you can fill in the pauses between SD and GD with them or fire off a Lotus Drops/Flashing Steel to hit multiple enemies when possible.
