First off, let me give you an internet high five for using the Wild Hunting Blade over it's uglier counterpart. Kudos!

I've had it for a few days now, and I am by no means an expert, but I have found that the wolver bites do hit a little less often than the ghost strikes of the previous swords. Also, they don't follow your sword. Instead, they come from the area you started the attack from (If you did the first hit in your combo, the wolver would bite from where your slash began, not from where it ended.) More often than not, you do knock the monster back out of the range of the wolver's bite. The sword's regular combo is best used when the enemy is backed into a corner, as that's really the only way you can guarantee you'll land all your hits.
*TL DR: Best used when the opponent is backed into a corner, charge is pretty good if used right, the wolvers aren't as reliable as the ghost swords.*

I'm trying to find ways to use the charge attack, since it handicaps the player not using their weapon's charge. The charge isn't as bad as they say, each hit does the same damage as the final hit in your regular combo. What I like to do is run past in front of a lumber and trick them into attacking, then running behind them and unleashing my charge. The fire puppies in the firestorm citadel are also good candidates, as they attack slower than regular gun puppies. Get them to charge their attack, run behind them, and release. You'll recover before they can attack you. Trojans make good victims too. Just imagine them as more powerful lumbers. Get behind them and release, you'll do massive damage.
*TL DR: Trick the slow to recover enemies into attacking, get behind them, and release.*

Trinket-wise, I do suggest switching out those CTR trinkets for other things as you're not going to be using the charge attack often. A sword damage bonus trinket works well with the Wild Hunting Blade, you can put two sword damage bonus trinkets on (that gives max damage vs beasts, and very high against everything else) which is what I reccomend most, since CTR isn't that useful, and you already have great speed with your vog cub armor.
*TL DR: Get sword damage trinkets.*

I'm really pleased to see another person using the Wild Hunting Blade. The sword is an underdog, but I still think alot of people underrate it. Use it right, and you can do great damage while looking like a boss.

@Alynn you won't regret switching out CTR for damage. :)
