Anyone test cleave/great cleave?

Why is that? The glancing blows helps, but it isn't close to what I'd consider a CAPITAL LETTERS improvement. Is there something else good?

Clicking the Cleave icon in battle still seems like it'll be only a marginal improvement, or sometimes even put you behind the outcome of attacking normally.

Because Acrobats get sneak attacks with cleave.

My numbers say it's .7seconds (dwarf acrobat with staff) according to Vanshilar's attack speed numbers the fastest attack speed for staves only gives you 2.25 attacks per second - hasted with max haste boost for 55% - the second best attack speed is giving 1.8 attacks per second. So .7 seconds is worth only 1.2 attacks vs a single target plus some glancing blow damage. If they fix glancing blows you'll get a full base attack damage plus glancing blow damage plus full sneak attack damage against each target losing very little single target dps.

Granted it's only once every ~5 seconds and you have to manage the aggro, but it's almost always a net gain if you have at least 2 targets.
