Shards >>>>>> something without a proc like Lamentation
Depends entirely on procs.

I did try this last weekend on a level 20 warrior with a 20 monk in group. With the shards I had agro maybe 30% of the time (dex 165). In fights where they proc on the first swing you hold agro the whole time, the problem is that is few and far between.

However using a poison wind censor I held agro for about 99% of the time, and even held agro against a shard-weilding 23 warrior who joined later, except of course on the rare occasions when they proc'd.

Think about it...even with fully twinked dex, below level 37 you're looking at maybe 170 dex with a shaman in group. That equates to ~1.5 procs per minute (both hands combined). In a good lowbie group you're killing 2-3 mobs per minute. You simply can't hope for procs on every mob, let alone at the beginning of the fight.
