Life gain on hit, Molten strike vs Cyclone

Hi all, with life gain on hit what is better? and why? Thanks

Assuming all of Molten Strike's balls hit, Molten Strike is the winner because it'll hit more things per second. However, that's not always going to happen so Cyclone will be more reliable and not far behind the best case of Molten Strike, at least before adding more projectiles to it.

thanks all for answer
