Biggest downside to Iksars is not being able to use Blood Ember Gauntlets, Boots, and Legs. Having a free, no cooldown Feign Death is very useful in solo and group situations. Same with the gloves. These two items save quite a bit of mana, since you do not need to spend mana on FD and Snare.

Greenmist is a nice weapon, but it will be replaced eventually, whereas Blood Ember Legs and Gloves will always be useful. The boots are great in solo situations, but they do require quite a bit of effort to use, so some people don't like them that much.
