I've seen several threads recently of people praising it, but when you actually parse the weapon it's not 4k good.

I made a spreadsheet to compare things like this. Dual jade-maces are basically equal at lvl 49 to a woodsmans. I have some trouble comparing 2handers to 1handers only because this: http://lucy.allakhazam.com/dmgbonus.html is the table i've used for 2hander bonus damage. If thats accurate then so is what I just said.

However if you have a frostbringer + jade mace they achieve parity at lvl 40. Woodsman is basically BiS from lvls 30-40 without spending insanes amount of money, but is not economical after that. So I agree, 4k for 10 levels seems a bit too steep. A more reasonable value would probably be like 3k. There is certainly some value in being best in slot for ten levels.
