Whirling Blades and Faster Casting?

Is Whirling Blades affected by Faster Casting support gem? I know its affected by faster attacks.

Also what are some good support gems for whirling blades?

Whirling blade is an attack. Attacks are never affected by cast speed.

Life gain on hit is a good support gem for whirling blade, since you are going to be hitting multiple targets with it.

Life on attack is good but u can get that from curse called "Warlord's Mark" so my choice for support gems are( btw i use DW dagger shadow spec) ; attack speed, physical dmg, critical dmg!
If u are low on crit chance, insted of crit multiplier use any other sort of dmg boost;cold,lightning,fire...pref cold so you have good cc while whirling.

I like to use Faster Attacks, just to make escapes that little bit faster.
