I have no idea what is going on with this ash, whether it's bugged, or whether it's working as intended. But it's insanely inconsistent and completely useless in PvP.
My damage varies wildly in PvE, sometimes I hit an enemy for 600, other times for 1500 with a keen milady at 60 dex. Charging it doesn't increase the damage by that much despite the long windup, and even a fully charged flame spear (if it does all of it's damage instead of only 1/3rd for some reason) deals about the same as impaling thrust.
In PvP it's useless. I don't know if it's bugged but I think the thrust hitbox never connects. A fully charged flame spear does... 300 damage. Impaling thrust does 800. At least the buff is nice and it gets hyperarmor?

My Erdsteel Dagger went from 617 to 723 damage after using the skill. DMG bonus seems to be bigger than Flaming Strike's buff (+90 DMG).

Tested quickly and the buff seems to be 85 flat damage added to your weapon, and this doesn't change with charge duration. Compared to Flame Strike's 90 flat this seems like a weaker buff, but the Ashes obvious serve different purposes in terms of scaling and action. Flame Strike's skill damage scales to Strength, meanwhile Flame Spear's damage scales to Faith (not weapon AR or upgrade level).

Amazing combo skill, you get a reliable projectile with good range AND a fire buff, you hammer them while they approach, then you slash them when they are in melee range, and then you finish them off with a projectile in the back when they are one the run. It's a full package.

The icon in-game is different from what is shown here, maybe they updated it? It shows what is clearly a flame knight with a cape doing the motion instead of the generic silhouette.

Tested on a Dex/Faith build with 80 Dex, 45 Faith. Standard, Heavy, Quality, and Keen infusions all did the same damage. Fire Infusion did somewhat more and Flame Art did the most. That would imply the skill's damage is not tied to the weapon's Faith scaling, given Fire infusion offers none, but it is increased by the weapon having higher base fire damage, which Flame Art provided.

Really cool ash of war but is unbelievably inconsistent/buggy. The projectile has a habit of sometimes going off at a 45 degree angle and because it spawns at the end of the blade it requires you to have impeccable positioning letting you do okay damage in pve but it's not enough to justify any of these problems and in pvp its borderline unusable as the hitbox of the blade is basically nonexistent. If they made the projectile spawn closer to the back of the blade, fix the hitboxes and fix its meh damage it would be amazing.
