Giantswing is generally better.

At your lvl giant swing might be better but later pummel is better. Because of my dl gloves my pummel is at 40 and with 350 str it hits more than my giant swing most of the time. Also pummel needs less energy and has a faster cool down.

This is no set answer to this question and depends on many other factors and what other skills you use. I use both but I like pummel for my build because of the fast cool down. I can get one pummel in between my shatters. My typical sequence goes like this:

Shatter
Pummel
GS
<shatter expired>
Pummel
Shatter
Pummel
GS

Anything slower than pummel will not get an additional skill attack in between the shatters.

well pummel have cooldown of 8 secs, while double attack has like 15 secs, and giant swing is longer than double attack (havent checked, i believe it'll be like 20 secs)
rupture should be faster than gs but idk if its faster than double attack
i could even use pummel twice on the same shatter

How do you get two pummels on the same shatter? My shatter expires about 1-2 seconds before pummel is ready again.

Rupture has a faster cooldown than double attack. I use it after shatter and it is always ready a few seconds before shatter is finished cooling down.
