Starting the fight with a Slow is an incredibly huge benefit, so I'd definitely try for that if Truncheon is available. Unfortunately, at 151ish DEX, procs are unreliable, so you might get a proc ASAP, or somewhere around the 50% marker. Completely random. I never found procs reliable on live until I had 255+ dex.
For what it's worth, I'd still go for it. Back on live, my Ranger would always start a solo fight with Earthcaller equipped. Once I got a proc, I'd swap to something else. It made solo life *so* much easier.
Bloodpoints are a good weapon swap, so you're covered there. You may also want a Kunzar depending on what you're fighting - but again, with unreliable procs, you might land a Snare when you need it, or you might not. I'd probably swap to Kunzar at 40-50% or so, just so it's in place when you need it.
Bandages, Fungi / Iksar BP, DS potions, invis, etc. are all also very useful, as I'm sure you know.
