in a word: unlikely

remember, combo counter resets naturally after 3 seconds, with rising storm after 8.

for this augment to be used to full potential, you would need to chain a lot of blade storms in a row. the 5 additional seconds are seldom useful. either you have enough enemies to hit again within 3 seconds, or you will take longer than 8 seconds to find more. but let's assume it works. the very first blade storm will perform as before, only without the blind rage bonus. the second bladestorm is now presumely with a bonus of 17 attacks, aka 2x multiplier... which is just slightly more than 1.5x.

i will not do the math now, but i assume, it only starts outweighing a higher base damage once you have chained three blade storms in a row. the fourth will be worth all the trouble, and the fifth blade storm in a row would be amazing. ... when was the last time you encountered enough high level enemies to cast 5 times in a row?

try it, if you want. i did and found it useless.
