Notes
For a time, this weapon was still popular, even among level 70s, as it was one of the few ways that an offtank could contribute significant raid DPS while in tank gear. Warriors would tend to use it with 
[Hamstring] to generate procs, while paladins would use it with 
[Seal of the Crusader]. Since Patch 2.4.2, it no longer generates significant DPS at level 70.
