Currently it's rerolled to int, but is main stat or elite dmg the second stat we look for on nearly perfect weapons?
Hard question: Is Odyn Son a BiS tier item for lightning builds? If so, which builds or all? Also, please share a competitive lightning build if you're feeling generous.
Here's my lightning wizard. In the first week of the season I was at one point rank 2/3 in hardcore seasonal but fell off due to school and Firebird wizards kind of being OP.
I believe Thunderfury's proc is better than Odyn Son, but if you can get a Ramalandi's, Odyn Son might be better because of the lightning % damage, however you'll be able to get a lot more weapon damage with a Thunderfury w/ Ramalandi's so I'm not entirely sure.
Thunderfury is definitely good in most cases for larger scale groupings and champ packs. The one place that Odyn Son will excel is in single target, where all three hits of its proc will hit the main target for a total of 1200% weapon damage. A 20% Lightning Odyn Son will just barely overtake the damage increase from the faster sword attack speed. So a near perfect Odyn with a gift might be a really good weapon for a lightning build with Arcane torrent or meteor for the larger hits/slower arcane power use.

Also, I'd keep the int on it probably.
