iksar because greenmist

Blood Ember clickies are generally going to be more useful than Greenmist when soloing. It's not that great of a weapon. Epic is better, and swapping Greenmist + Epic before going back to your DPS weapon is going to lose you a lot of DPS, which means taking more damage or spending more mana anyway.
I would only recommend Iksar for Greenmist if you are 100% sure you are never going to raid. By this I mean you are not going to get raid gear for your SK, you are fine with being level 60 in EC gear. It's a good weapon in that specific scenario, since it is kind of an "Epic lite", and one of the better non-raid weapons. MQing an Epic is pretty expensive for that kind of player, probably outside of their budget. Greenmist is much cheaper.
Epic is 50 HP/Tick over 5 ticks.
Greenmist is 30 HP/Tick over 8 ticks.
If you have 255 DEX you are procing an average of every 5 ticks (2 per minute). Epic is giving you 500 HP per minute (10 ticks of 50 HP), where Epic + Greenmist is giving you 490 HP per minute if you always proc Epic first and let Greenmist finish during the next minute.
The only thing Epic + Greenmist lets you do is stack the DoTs, so you could get a bit of extra HP in that scenario, but that just depends on when you proc them. If you proc Epic + Greenmist within two ticks, that is 350 HP (7 ticks of Epic if you reproced it) vs. 490 HP (250 from Epic + 240 from Greenmist over 10 ticks total). This assumes you wouldn't have proced Epic a third time within those 10 ticks.
The extra 100 HP or so you could gain in the short term via stacking the DoTs is probably not worth the DPS loss you are getting from swinging with Greenmist. That is basically 1 attack from a higher level mob, so finishing the fight a few seconds earlier will probably get you to around the same place.
