No way, the threat from SSOY is too good. Even when kunark drops this will be awesome for Warriors.

This is not correct. Ykesha proc itself is good, but you get the same effect from RMoY and yak club, both of which sport better ratios and start proccing around the same level range. Sarnak warhammer produces slightly less hate due to lack of DD in addition to its stun effect, but its substantially better ratio makes it dramatically superior to SSoY. Even non-proc weapons like Wurmslayer will outperform SSoY throughout most fights on average, barring the occasional lucky encounter where Ykesha procs at the beginning of a fight and then procs again toward the middle of the fight. This doesn't happen nearly often enough to rely upon, even with high dexterity. Believe me.
Weapon procs aside, a warrior is going to do a shitty job with SSoY when melee in the group is using shit like SoB, Wu's quivering staff, serpent tooth, blood point, trak tooth, etc etc etc. I have many, many hours of experience with proc and non-proc weapons, and I can say with absolute certainty that a significantly higher ratio weapon is
always going to be better for aggro, even when the higher ratio option lacks a proc effect. Procs are simply too inconsistent and infrequent to rely upon exclusively. Ideally, you want to strive for both ratio and proc, and SSoY ratio is literally trash, making the weapon itself trash.
Avoid SSoY for now unless you don't mind losing thousands of plat. Better options are just around the corner and comparable options like Kunzar Ku'juch will drop like candy in CoM and will be available for cheap. Market pressure will drive SSoY prices to well below 1k not long after Kunark launch.
