I picked up this Dagger for 50g over the Gut Ripper (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=2164) which was 100g. This doesn't do quite as much extra damage, and you need 6 extra levels to use it, but that's not really a problem if you're doing Battlegrounds, which is normally high-40s. Its also MH only...which I sort of didn't like. But I have it paired with the level 48 Scout's Blade (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=19543). Also got a +4 Weapon Damage on this, and a Fiery on the Scout's Blade. It looks decently nice and has the highest top-end of any non-quest Dagger in the 40-49 bracket.

Anyone know if this stacks and its proc rate?

I've heard the procrate is about 1 out of 10, so quite high - and about the proc itself.. The +fire dmg taken by the mob affects to following procs (it also stacks, what I've been told!) and affects to Fiery Weapon-enchant. So overall, very good to get - comparing to Gutripper, the difference is minimal

The proc is lower than 1/10 by a wide margin, and it does not affect fiery. If it stacks with itself I have not seen it yet.

According to shadowpanther.net this weapon is the second-best dagger for the 40-49 bracket, the better one being Gutripper. Our group had this drop from Verek (Warden Stilgiss' dog-add) in, heh, Blackrock Depths - as it is a static loot and only drops from there.

This dagger seems to have potential for rogues, and in some cases shamans (Flame Shock, Fire Totems - the fire damage boost is nice). Anyways, our druid got this by greeding and it seems that it is going for around 40-70g in Sylvanas EU. Seems like a nice solid choice basicly until Outlands if you don't do a lot of dungeons and manage to snag this from the AH with a cheap price.

And.. to add this.. I heard it stacks up to FOUR times, yes, 4, it might be a nice add in groups when you have a fire mage, warlock, shaman and such classes that may deal firedamage. A +40 Fire Damage-boost is awesome, if your main dps-class is a deep fire mage. GL getting this, might be worth it, and yeah a fiery weapon would mainly be the best choice for this, since the fire damage -bonus adds up to it (the +10 debuff it generates).

//EDIT: My post is old and outdated. The item has been changed, but I guess this post still has historical value of some sort.

WoW it says its worth only 50g i sold mine for 250g to a twink enhancement shammy.

Just got this dagger, and been testing the proc a bit. ~~Without a very accurate counter, I can say that after 10 procs I'm getting a rate of ~1.20 PPM. Or if you believe in %, a 27 second cooldown.~~

EDIT: Additional testing done.

After 28 procs, I'm getting an 1 second cooldown here. Thus, no CD at all. Leads me to believe that it's a random proc rate. Will try to find out what the proc chance is.

this dagger seems to be really good for twink enhancement shamans =)

IT has bout the same top end damage alongside Gutripper which is probably a lot harder or more expensive to get
Rogues using daggers for ambush crits etc, try n get this off AH for a decent price!
