PoE2 Monk bug - Whirling Assault

Hello,
1)At the moment if you increase the quality of the Whirling Assault Gem you get
Attack Speed for the skill. The problem is that it has no effect on the skill.
The skill has a fixed duration that cannot be adjusted. Therefore I think that increasing the attack speed should increase the number of hits during the use? But this does not happen. No matter how much AttackSpeed I add, I always have the same number of hits.

2)The hit registration for the attack is pretty bad. Often the animations overlap witht the enemies, but the hits wont connect.

I second this!
Attack speed does nothing to the ability. Animation speed stays the same, number of hits stays the same.
It's also confusing, as it's suggesting to invest into attack speed, which could be just more wasted resources (ex. passive nodes, support gem)
Attack speed doesn't do nothing but it does very little. It has a fixed minimum of 1.4 second cast that you can see if you read the tooltip, these 1.4 seconds will never decrease with attack speed. Your attack and skill speed will reduce the animation that goes past the 1.4 seconds by a percentage so it doesn't feel like much has been reduced.

I tried heavily investing into it as chayula monk and the skill definitely needs some kind of buff, it's only good for building a lot of combo very fast or proccing the bell quickly. You cannot use this skill as a funky cyclone it just doesn't scale well at all, even a ton of aoe hardly affects it.
