hmm do i assume after the patch cyclone will get the "strike" tag or does it keep the "attack" tag? just wondering about the support gems possible with this.

"Strike" is now a skill type as well, and appears on items which do not have an 'area of effect' but can still hit multiple targets (essentially, all the previously single-target skills now have this tag). This is used to determine which skills some supports (such as Melee Splash Support) can now support.

thats the worst thing to do with cyclone!
havent you thought about cwc? i thought that was the sole reason to NOT give it that tag

Do you gain stages based on your attack speed or what?

Yes, 1 stage per "attack", just like every other channeled skill. With a 1 attack per second weapon you'll have 3 attacks per second with Cyclone and be up to max stages in 2 seconds without any other modifiers.

More realistically, people will hit max stages in under a second.

I think the added phy damage is after those 800% inc damage, not before. So not broken.

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works. Facebreaker and voidforge are going to be by far the most dps among cyclone builds, with voidforge being the enhanced range variant. They'd have to deliberately change flat damage mechanics on attack skills completely for it to work how you want to imagine it working, which would also absolutely annihilate elemental hit (hilariously).

That added damage is added up to the base before multiplying it with 56% so it isn't as huge as it seems.

This is completely irrelevant. It's still stronger than adding an additional abyssus onto your build, since any other sources of flat damage are multiplied by the same value. Just think about the strength with fb and voidforge.
