Myth? Well you are welcome to your opinion, but I used it extensively and found the JBB very useful.
I might have given the guy too much info, but wanted to explain how I found it to be quite beneficial.
The nuke hits fairly hard, and as I said I solo'd with it and found it extremely useful.
I even solo'd the paladin guards in Felwithe, always keeping my mana high by mixing the JBB in once my pet got them down to 90% hps and held aggro.
I think he could buy it, try it, and see if he thinks it's useful or not. He can easily resell it if he doesn't like it.
There's a reason why people mention the JBB and the fact the Iksar race can't use it, and that's because it is a fairly decent item that at the very least can help you level.

It is a FACT that the JBB costs mana to use - around 150 mana per cast at Level 53. That's not an opinion. The nuke does not "hit hard". It does 26.3dps maximum in ideal circumstances which is not hard. You can melee 25dps with a decent 2h weapon AND cannibalise recovering mana between swings.
You can solo whatever you want, with whatever you want. If you are doing things with a JBB you are SLOWER than any other Shaman tactic and more INEFFICIENT than any other Shaman tactic. Again, this isn't opinion. It is a demonstrable, empirical fact.
Telling anyone to buy a JBB is bad advice. It will cost you time to buy it, probably much more time to sell it (cos there's lots of sellers and not many buying) and likely end up with a cash loss on the transaction. Or WORSE, the poor guy might keep using it and kill his efficiency making EVERYTHING he does take longer.
