I don't know for sure, but maybe take a look to see how Whirlwind Sprint handles player speed?
Well I tried adding a duplicate of the WhirlwindSprint Shout to the spelllist for a race Im playing/creating and it did nothing. It did not show up automatically in Shouts during gameplay. I also noticed that the spells which Shouts are linked to do not actually perform any task. They're just place holders for the animations associated with their parent Shouts/WordsofPower.
