I've played with WJC plenty of times (and won with it) and while it sounds cool on paper, it doesn't really have the 'buff capacity' of other gods.
When facing a group of tough enemies with any other god, I can either:
A: use my limited escape consumables
B: use my limited buff consumables
C: Use my renewable piety on something like potion petition/ summon demon / triple draw / heroism+finesse /berserk + BiA / drop corpses + animate dead
With WJC, I have options A and B available to me, but not option C. Sure, serpents lash and the passive effects can combine for decent damage, but they're dependent on your actual character strength and don't really 'empower' you as much as other god abilities. Serpents lash and whirlwind with like a +0 long sword is pretty bad compared to just summoning a few minor demons for example.
If I was playing some easy race like Minotaur,HO,Gr, Ce etc. I might pick WJC for the novelty factor, but anyone can win those races as an atheist with their eyes closed so it's not really like god choice even matters on those species , but as a weak race, like an octopode, WJC is simply unreliable and not really an option if you're aiming to win.
In the end, you're playing a slightly fancier atheist game, and that's about it.
