bane + cani/torp while it ticks > 8 sec of face tank immobility/inability to do anything else, while you wait for a tick's worth of your bane to land.
basically you are going to at best, at the absolute best, do
one epic clicks worth of damage to the mob with your JBB
If a mob has enough hitpoints (aka is high enough level) to allow you to click the JBB
that any times, you will require torp/cani during that time, because even slowed a mob of that level will be dealing enough damage.
Now, I don't know crap about necro, but comparing one class to another like that is a fools errand because every class/item value is extraordinarily non-comparable.
you have to look at the numbers, not how valuable an item is to another entirely different class.
the numbers say, there is no value to a JBB beyond vanity and playstyle.
*edit* I'd also like to quote this excellent post:

Yeah but Bane of Nife, once cast, will keep doing that damage for a bunch of ticks. Rather than click JBB every 8 seconds, you can canni / torpor and cast other dots, keep near fm, etc. At lvl 60 when you are trying to get casts of Bane, Pox, Epic, Malo, Slow, Insidious Decay, Haste (for pet), Torpor...you simply aren't going to have a lot of 8-second windows to spare for casting JBB. Not to mention switching in a Journeyman's staff and/or a Proc weapon on summoners.
What we are saying is: there are plenty of 60 shamans hunting big targets who don't see the value in a JBB. Roll Iksar if you want. I like Barb for the Barb Spiritists Hammer, the ultimate 35-50 leveling weapon.

I mean all that weve said aside, jbb can get you from 45-49 in a night of soloing. But once you hit 49 & are able to click that epic that was just sitting in your main hand until then, its like this:
