Eerie blue glow of speedster suit, experienced the loss of a loved one that drove him insane, went back in time to try alter his fate, clashes with his past selves and always overwhelms them, ends up killing his loved one himself.

Seems like Future Flash to me. Although they changed the person Future Flash lost from Wally to Iris.

The only Savitar side of him is the cult and being trapped in the Speed Force. Savitar never had such a personal relationship with Barry, which is why I spent a good deal of the season wondering "why does the God of Speed give so much of a crap about one insignificant speedster?" Sure you can say "because Barry locked him in the Speed Force and he wanted revenge", but that doesn't explain why Savitar prolonged his suffering and revenge for so long rather than killing him outright.
