I've played with it, its excellent, but i prefer to confine my testing and planning to items that will be available within the first month or so of new ladder play.
THe one thing i wanted to test but didn't was whether the -57% cold res worked with spells or if one had to 'hit' with the weapon... in which case i must ponder whether it affects the Holy Freeze pulse damage.
All in all though, this is an excellent weapon - i'd planned on eventually using it (eventually) on a might merc, while my pally ran conviction or fanat, with the free defiance aura from his exhile(?) shield.
It is also possible that, when all the equip is avail. to use this rune word as my weapon, while my merc uses the runeword that gives lvl 9 fanat so my pally could always run conviction....
but i digress.
