Flicker Strike not working properly

There are a few issues with the Flicker Strike Skill.

1) Critical hits from Flicker strike don't count for gaining Energy for Meta Skills (Like Cast on Critical). I have a Crit Chance of 62.25% on Flicker Strike and 37.25% on regular attacks, so the frequency of crits with flicker strike shouldn't be the issue.
2) Flicker Strike does not generate Melee Combos to use tempest bell.
3) difficulty navigating while Flicker strike is active, it just ports me to random enemies - I understand this is part of the Skill, but to be able to at least influence the direction a bit would be nice. Not sure if this is a Console only problem.

Thanks for looking into this!
