It probably also has to do with how rarely he has the dragoon dirk on him. When he has it on him, you just need to be backstabbed twice and you'll respect him. But, like any other drop that has been nerfed, he rarely has it so he can't backstab you with fists.
It's like the old, old days when you did bloodthirsty ghould camp in lower guk. You were hoping for frenzied ghoul to pop (YAY!), and then hope he had FBSS instead of moonstone ring. As a tank, you'd attack him and realize, damn he's beating the piss out of me. YAY (yay?) he has the FBSS. The cleric was thinking, oh shit, he has FBSS on him.
