What?? That's a heck of a "hot take," applicable only to a small portion of the player base. Remember that not everyone has interest in raiding north wing Tempole Veeshan. Most people do not reach level 60 at all. Most those who do reach level 60 do not raid at the high-end to a particularly great extent. The folks awash in high-end items are a minority of a minority. Greenmist is one of the best weapons out there for lower- and mid-range players and is at or near the best weapon a lot of those iksar shadowknights will ever have access to, and certainly one of the few that offers meaningful self-healing.
Iksars are a good choice for someone who wants to do a lot of the game's quests because Kunark and Cabilis was generally more fleshed out than the old world. The other races, any of them can do Darkforge. Dark elves get the Thex Mallet quest; Dark elves, humans, and erudites can all double-dip the necromancer quests their respective guilds offer. Humans can start in Qeynos which is the most-developed of the old world cities with a fair amount of low-level quests. I don't recollect anything particularly inspiring from the ogre or troll areas. Their areas always felt somewhat under-developed to me compared to the others.

Ebon Mace, Reaver, Shard of Night, and Argent Protector are all great weapons that are fairly cheap to buy. All of these weapons are easily obtainable by a casual player just farming plat by killing guards.
Greenmist really isn't very good sadly, even taking into account the proc. Having a Reaver + Blood Ember Gloves is going to be better than Greenmist.
The reason why Greenmist is a worse weapon compared to the ones I mentioned above is because you lose access to Blood Ember clickies. Those are going to help you way more than the proc from Greenmist. Shadowknights are constrained by their mana, so having a free snare clickie is huge. The ratios on all the weapons mentioned above (besides Ebon Mace) are also better than Greenmist. Ebon Mace isn't far off, its a 0.79 ratio compared to Greenmist's 0.82.
