No doubt the addition to provide more weapons with procs on them in Icecrown Citadel was something of a controversial decision. I think everyone likes the idea of them. Especially when they have neat visual effects like Nibelung does. Who wouldn't want the chance to summon a small army of sexy battle maidens every time they cast a spell?!
But until people can get a handle on the proc rate, they all seem like nebulous upgrades. You don't have the same kind of raw stats to deal with, and that makes people nervous and uneasy. I imagine it also makes these sorts of weapons harder to balance, especially when bosses still drop their more traditionally-itemized kin. That's why we've been seeing so many tweaks to said equipment as of late and today is no different. Several items (two weapons and a trinket to be exact) have had their procs modified in the changes below.
And for those of you working on your Shadowmourne quest, some good news, as well:
