Always wondered about the Essence Blade, in terms of its graphic but moreso how it would handle in combat for aggro. 80 stolen mana per proc would add up fast and descrease the downtime when fear kiting. As a SK, being able to tap both hp and mana simultaneously through procs would add more flavor to the class. Arguably though, it would be even better on a Paladin, considering how the class already has a lot of shutdown potential versus casters.
Never seen it wielded in game or old screenshots, which isn't that surprising. And as insane as deleveling back to 1 would be, using it would make soloing casters especially fun that early on when just a few procs would put you at fm and leave the mob oom.
