Slow proccing weapons in this era are almost all are primary only (locustlure being one of the few primary/secondary ones).

My theory is that forcing the few slow weapons to mainhand balances out the aggro from the proc.

Slow is a GREAT aggro proc (ask any shaman or enchanter).

With that said I don't know if the Wavecrasher is worth the hype. 9/19 isn't bad but its no great and definitely not as good as a willsapper. The 20% slow is nice, but not as good as a truncheon of doom or ranger epic earthcaller.

I don't know about the comparisons to the anklesmasher. Snare is also a GREAT aggro generator, but I've found in my limited experience that most snare weapons (kunzar kujuch, silken whip of ensnaring) don't proc a lot.

Infestation procs like crazy. 9/18 isn't too bad aggro component is there, not as strong. Willsapper is much better for ratio and slow.

Slow proccing weapons are few and far between and mostly primary only, making their ratios far more important.
