Love spade! Adds to my wood elf warrior's ranger guise and with all that dex she has i can CC faster than most of the pugs i find!
Wwhen playing war or rog i find little to do so i concentrate on positioning when skills are on cooldown. The rog pushes to optimal spot put the war pulls there and with a spade she can lock it in place. If you're worried about halfling or gnome rogues getting too close to a mob, just get closer! Or stand farther long enough for then to get the message.

It's a six man weapon though.. The OP asked for ranks and we haven't produced them yet. There are more than one considerations for the question. Silence raid, nonsilence raid and six man? A sortable spreadsheet is probably called for in order to satisfy the request.
