Chaos is used by Ghost and Hybrid assassins in PvP. It gives the assassin a strong source of melee damage (whirlwind) to accompany the rest of its toolkit. Whirlwind is quite effective in PvP, especially against casters, but does not match up well against Whirlwind Barbarians.

A standard PvP setup uses a Chaos Suwayyah as the primary weapon (above boots) and a pair of Feral Claws with a fools modifier as the secondary weapon (above gloves). 

INCREASED ATTACK SPEED BREAKPOINTS

Whirlwind / Feral Claws (Secondary) / Suwayyah (Primary) / Weapon IAS 40/35

4 Frames = 8 IAS < Maximum Reached

Trap Laying / Feral Claws (Secondary) / Suwayyah (Primary)

11 Frames = 5 IAS 

10 Frames = 20 IAS 

9 Frames = 42 IAS < Optimal Performance

Outside of PvP, whirlwind assassins are relatively weak. Their damage output is quite low compared to most mainstream PvM builds and Whirlwind does not actually proc the %Chance to Cast Frozen Orb or Charged Bolt.
