IMO, knockback can be useful up to the point where your amazon is no longer a novice in Hell difficulty. At some point I found that with enough small cold dmg charms for chill duration works nearly as well as knockback. I spam enough MS to chill and poison the encroaching masses, and then switch to GA to take out the baddest monsters first. I like to kill most everything when it is just off the screen. I still keep a pair of crafted gauntlets with knockback in my stash for emergencies.
