I got epic purely for aestetic reasons. I had Frostreaver and Meljeldin, bane of Giants before I got it and I rarely use it other than looking hella swag and slamming as a skellie (ruined my day when I found out skellies were utter bashlets).
Sure man do it, I love that flashy skull sword! But don't count on it to be any good! The procc is too weak to make a difference when soloing.
Frostreaver on the other hand is an amazing weapon for pulling massive aggro and the meljeldins 45/38 stats make you compete with... ummm badly geared other classes.
It made me get on the dps list on vindi, which is basically my biggest dps accomplishment, also it has no procc which always is good for not generating raid leader aggro!
