It's situationally useful, a (very) low-rent version of the Blue Two Handed Hammer. It's great for faction-farming, the dmg-delay is pretty solid compared to it's proc equivalents (Obsidian Shard / Kisch / Yak) or non-proc equivalents (EBW / Polished Steel Dirk / Amy Tendril).

Coupled with the fact that its usually given out free compared to (in order) : Rare drop in SolA / Drop in Paw / Rare on Ghoul Lord in GukB / Two Rares deep in Mistmoore Castle / Rare in Qeynos Catacombs / Plane of Fear (lol).....

It's infinitely easier to obtain and usually a rot on top of that.

So what exactly was the original flame here? Did you have a warrior in your group who needed it and yet somehow didnt bang out his loot hotkey the second the champ dropped? Did you not have time to camp in your alt and run him from the zone in? Did you not have an enchanter, which would suggest you actually needed a painbringer to make it rain on those kobold hoes?

I admit i'm kinda lost here.. It's easy to debate that the item is useful, but it's a lot harder to figure out exactly how this item was ninja-looted.. Either the group getting xp was beyond slack or someone is throwing a tissy fit because they couldn't run their alt down there in time.
