I know, it's a good weapon, but I'm not even talking about the ratios and stats, I'm talking strictly about its proc.

I've heard you can weapon swap on procs and basically double dip with your 2h epic for the lifetap dot.

Is this really that good to be picking iksar over say troll or ogre?

Also, do the other races have things that compensate race wise or is it all just flavor at that point?

The problem is Iksars can't use Blood Ember clickies, but every other SK race can. You are sacrificing Blood Ember clickies for an item that will be replaced by your Epic. As Andyman says, it isn't worth stacking the procs unfortunately.

Greenmist proc is 30 Damage a tick over 8 ticks, so the cap on it is 300 damage per minute if you keep re-procing it.

Epic proc proc is 50 Damage a tick over 5 tick, so the cap on it is 500 damage per minute if you keep reprocing it.

Stacking the DoTs isn't worth it. Best case is if you proc both within 12 seconds, you will get a total of 490 damage if you don't proc again, vs. 350 from proccing Epic twice within 12 seconds.

The 140 extra HP will probably end up getting lost, because you are lowering your DPS by swinging with Greenmist. Even if it doesn't get lost, Blood Ember clickies will help you more than the rare perfect DoT stack.
