Comparing it to a SoB, since I know you have experience with that weapon...
It's a .837 ratio weapon, whereas the Runed Blade is a .65 ratio weapon. I haven't done any parsing on it, but I'd be surprised if the RB was better for tanking. The only thing I can see it being useful for, is the AoE aggro if you happen to have adds in camp (and you're already on their hate list.)

Even using it solo, I would imagine the loss of DPS would be more noticeable than the rune 3 procs. It's worth messing around with though, it's not an expensive item.
