Never really had a chance to find out. I used a Crystalline Spider Fang, back in my CoM days, but the proc on that was 12pts compared to a relaible back-stab of many times that. Even the DoT weapons I have owned were 10 pts per tick at best.

To put things in perspective, the best proc I can find for any rogue weapon is 182 from the Massive Heartwood Thorn. At the sort of level where you would even dream of fighting Tunare on her home plane for one, you can probably backstab for over 1k damage.
