the benefit of the jbb isnt how much dmg it does, its that its mana free.
i see what both sides of the coin are saying about the jbb
but as a shaman myself I will never sell mine. i tried doing that once to fund my epic and i just missed having it in a pinch or to just speed burn something or kill lower lvl mobs when farming. I ended up re-buying it and figuring out how to mq the childs tear and still keep it.
its not the best item in the world, and it does have its issues, but a free 283DD is a free 283DD. not too many classes (if any?) can boast that.

Yeah I know that feeling. You only realize how good it is when you don't have it.
So back to the question: is it really that good? Yes! for 15k-20k it definitely is.
IMO:
Epic>JBB>Pox>Bane
If you can get an Epic,don't bother with a jbb. But remember the Epic spear cost like 100k (if got it ezpz from your guild be appreciative of that ok...ok).
I used to think Bane and pox was better but in practice those spells are really mana-expensive. I'm telling you; recovering your mana (canni-torp) after 4 resist of bane and pox from a maloed mob is a real PIA (you're spell will fizzle alot). So i end up just letting the pet do the dmg, spamming jbb and keep all my mana to re-slow and torp.
But maybe I'm just bad at the doing the shaman stuff.
