Because disease dots are absolutely crucial to shaman PvP, right? I'm guessing this item was originally created because disease resist is nearly impossible to stack up to a high level. The fact that it's currently very common is just because people know what they didn't know back in 1999. This is true for hundreds of things. Should they give the server -75% xp because people now know the best ways to level? Or make raid mobs twice as hard because we don't need to learn the strategies from scratch? This is all just something you have to live with, and in a year I'm sure plenty of people won't have Thex daggers. Regardless, shamans are still among the strongest classes in the game even with it around. It's not as if disease dots are their primary threat in PvP, plus you can debuff that resist, and people will still have less dr than mr and often fr/cr as soon as the usual resist gear becomes common.
