SK epic vs other weapons, worth?

[drakkan]

So I recently have been itching to work on my SK's epic...fashion quest is definitely enticing but from a realistic standpoint of the work involved for how often it's wielded, is it worth it? The stats a pretty nice but output wise Narandi's lance is a better ratio and only 20k.

Now obviously sk's in a non raiding scene might benefit from the hp/resists/life tap but how often are high end raid SK's wielding their epics?

Interested in hearing what I might be overlooking, thanks everyone in advance.
