Got a Fate of the Fell Flail on my Wiz, unsure what to roll on it
Got this on my Wiz and I'm pretty sure it is one of the better flails for a Crusader, but that's pretty much all I know. So I have no clue what to roll on it.

This is my very undergeared (and clueless) Crusader: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Bllets-2974/hero/38595912

Jesus, dude, that's nearly perfect.
Okay. You have two main options. The first is to reroll to 10% CDR. This will allow you to "easily" have permanent AC with other CDR gear.
The other option is to reroll to 4 Wrath Per Second. This is the option that I'd recommend, as it's essentially 4/5ths of the Embodiment of Power rune and will allow you to far more easily sustain constant shotgun blasts while using Prophet. Without WPS, the Prophet rune becomes a bit of a Wrath headache as soon as you learn how to cancel the recoil animation with stutterstepping. As I find permanent AC entirely unnecessary for a Shotgun spec (I personally easily clear T6 with 47% CDR instead of the 56% needed for perma-buff), and WPS essentially gives you a second rune while boosting your toughness with Prophet by a good 10+ million (and that second life is astounding), I find WPS to be almost obviously superior. There are, of course, some who would disagree with me, but I'm confident enough to gainsay them before they make a sound. Get WPS unless you are somehow deathly afraid of losing the AC buff for a second or two.
Edit: The rerolled stat should be Vit, of course. That much Vitality is severe overkill when using Prophet, so it provides no meaningful utility compared to WPS or CDR.
WPS is really good, given how resource starved Shotgun sader is. However, it is a bit situational. 55.13% is the magic number for the perma-akkarat, and as you might know (or might not) CDR is not additive, it has multiplicative nature. So getting to 55.13% is not an easy task. You first of all, need an full akkhan set (minus pants or shoes) and then craft captain crimson set's belt and pants or shoes, depending on what you are missing. Get diamond socketed in the helm, get CDR on both rings and ammys (or at least 2 of the bunch, Ammy is ridiculously good in your dmg pumping as it can give elemental dmg%, up to 100% crit dmg and 10% cc, you get the idea), and have CDR on your shoulder. On top of that, you need Hellskull shield, which rolls with 5-8% CDR and give 10% dmg boost to two-hander weapon holder.
These are all exhausting amount of gear that you need to find just to play shotgun crusader to its full potential.
My advice? take above commenter's advice to heart, and leave the FotF for now. After you get your full akkhan set, RoRG with good rolls (preferably cdr) hellskull and other crucial items, assess your cdr and where it needs to be, and then decide whether you need more CDR. If not, roll WPS, it's better like the man said.
TL:DR, you need shit ton more to play shotgun mode anyway, why not decide AFTER you get them items and look at your stats?
