I'm pretty sure Wurmslayer is primary only now. Either way, go with a proc weapon. You need every little bit you can get, and even though your off-hand proc rate is halved, you want to give yourself as many chances as possible. Proccing is the only way you can tank. You aren't there for your DPS, and your off-hand attacks are significantly less than half of your total damage anyway.
Sarnak Warhammer is just fine if you're high enough level for it to proc. For off-hand, I'd get the whip, the proc is fairly solid aggro and the ratio is really good after all. The -5AC is a bit of a bitch, but it's so little when you think about it. The club will do just fine as well, but it looks like crap and the 9/24 ratio is a bit low. I know I said it didn't matter much, but it all still counts.
As I've been telling people lately, also consider Throneblade of the Ykesha. If you're just tanking exp-group mobs that die in 15 seconds, you don't need high sustained threat, you need a very fast proc. The slow Throneblade has an insane proc chance per swing due to the 51 delay, so you have a really good chance to proc on your first swing and on ripostes. The ratio is acceptable as well, and as an added bonus, you take less riposte damage yourself.
