How about you run some numbers and list the combinations that are flatly superior and if so to what degree.
Remember all weapons have static proc rates (ie no proc mods). Threat is now capped at 400 with the only exception being red blade (500) and any damage it adds on top (DD and dot).
There are no “god weapons” after the proc aggro nerf. Before, there were a ton to include crap like WESS and infestation much less feverblade etc.
All the “good ones” now have very comparable raw aggro procs. Beyond that it’s just a function of ratio and damage bonus.

I'd defer to someone like Allishia who is still actively MTing in raids.
My memory is at least partially from before the clickie Nerf. I believe tanks liked
https://wiki.project1999.com/Whitestone_Shield and
https://wiki.project1999.com/Blade_of_Carnage on AoW because it offered more HP, and you could coast on the hate generated by dumping midnight mallets into the mob. The delay on that weapon is low, so you were still getting good white damage agro too.
I never saw Frostreaver used in a big encounter. I doubt that has changed, since even after the clickie nerf having a 1h weapon allows you to use a shield if the encounter calls for it. Not to say you can't use Frostreaver as a backup in certain cases. As Allishia points out she uses her 2H Epic in some situations.
Frostreaver is currently still going for cheap DKP-wise, so I don't think there is something hidden in the weapon that people are missing.
