Follow up question: Do you think a Narandi's lance would out-dps the soul defiler? I'm currently lvl 58 and mostly fear kiting. Only have a reaver and sky sword for 2h atm and the reaver doesn't work where I'm fighting.

Not counting the Narandi proc, with the lvl 60 damage bonus:
Soul Defiler: 2.789
Narandi: 2.80

It’s probably negligible unless the fear kite npc is taking a while (if missing some swings) in which case the dot just gets better and better. But in this instance you are comparing the best ratio 1h in the game with a good but fairly pedestrian 2h. A Lance of Thunder in that same situation with the 60 dmg bonus would be 3.13 or 11% better.

That’s just napkin math. Parses can vary.
