Wrapped Entropy Serpent Spine - How Annoying / Dangerous?

[evanderheide]

Almost 40 warrior here. First character on the server - have asked a couple of questions on gearing here with excellent success / advice from people that's allowed me to develop the character really smoothly - so thank you in advance!

My big question - how annoying /dangerous is the Wrapped Entropy Serpent Spine for tanking? What kind of precautions would I need to take to avoid pulling a train to my group due to the "Blinding Poison" effect? Anyone have any experience how much caution you need to exercise using this weapon.

I'm asking because I'm currently rocking a Frostbringer and looking for a weapon to pair it with. I'd happily pair it with Infestation, but I doubt I'm going to have the 10k to buy loot rights for it anytime soon, so I was thinking of picking up a Wrapped Entropy Serpent Spine as an "almost as good" / more aggro generating weapon, but have heard a few people mention some potential risks.

Any tanks out there have any experience with WESS? Does it get you killed a lot? Does it totally rock and people are being babies complaining?
