Intimate Gambit and Downcrack look great, but they have two major drawbacks :

The user can be interrupted and sustain damage from other enemies during the long skill animation, and these two skills are mostly only effective against small enemies.

Antler Toss shares this drawback but has three added advantages :

The ability it strike airborne enemies, the ability to break an enemy's defensive guard and it can be used effectively to stagger large enemies.

Given the choice between the three you mentioned, I'd go with Antler Toss.
