Scaling Wildstrike AOE Damage with Melee Splash

Is melee splash better than the weapon elemental damage support at increasing total AOE damage done when you have Elemental Equilibrium? The 2nd AOE hit of damage from melee splash looks to have more damage potential than another more multiplier, but I'm not sure how it interacts with EE.

If I hit a monster with wild strike the secondary monsters will be hit with splash and the wild strike secondary effect. Since they are all the same element I believe that either the splash or the AOE effect will do enhanced damage and reduced damage for the other. Is this true or do they happen so fast that EE doesn't switch in time?

This is not possible as you have worded it. EE effects update instantly; therefore the question you should be asking is not speed but "is it all dealt in one hit or is it separate hits?"

The melee hit (and splash) and the secondary effect are separate hits.

Ok I was hoping EE had a small cooldown like cast on crit. 2 separate hits would make it worse for me overall then thanks.
