Nope, both good claws.
This one is better vs all
The 2os one id use it more vs sins
And.. With this one you can wear a gchaos without having shitty traps dammage
Feral needs 42 ias to hit 9 fps traps. Add 20 from highlord, yours sits at
50.
-10 arach slow = 40.
40 ias on feral claw = less than 9 fps traps vs anyone who uses arach
A superior example in favor of +2 sin would be something like:

However the knockback 30 ias one you mentioned, compared to Plague Bite that also boasts +3 to weapon block, which is +3 skill points that can be placed elsewhere overall, reducing the weight of +2 sin and +1 Ls extra (meager damage gain to LS overall, no synergy bonus from + skills).
In my eyes, the point of using a high damage eth rep cruel + fools claw on hybrid is because its design is to duel more offensively using whirlwind, with traps contributing a large overall portion of damage. An extra socket means 25% EXTRA chance of Open Wounds, which, to ANY GM opponent forced to utilize a defensive strategy will suffer overall to a greater degree after getting hit and subsequently bleeding out.
