Confirming these still drop. I farmed VT nigh on 3 years before seeing them. I'd actually given up, assuming they'd been removed from the drop table and was farming root clickies.
Got them tonight. Nice stats, but the spell effect is similar to Ro's Smoldering Disjunction, so no big gain on that. It is missing the 150 fire dd part though and can be used on mezzed mobs too for that. Saves the Spellslot of RSD if you are on debuffs on Raids.
Asides from invoking further wrath on the denizens of orc hill, I can't think of any real situation where this thing would be worth clicking. Maybe in a quad kite, with a bit of timing, to get resists down. Certainly suicide to click in an 50+ exp group though, especially with all the taunting nerfage going on right now.
Still, not like it demands a proc with those stats. And what do I know, maybe this version of the Ro's doesn't generate any aggro.
Kinda fits in line with the rest of our clicky items as powerlevelling gear par excellence - now we can not only cast skin like diamond, chloroplast, shield of thorns, and sow on newbies with right clicks, we can debuff every nearby mob for them...
Bah, why do they always give druidic spells and items the name of Ro? Solusek is the one responsible for burning down Tunaria and the ancient civilization of Takish'Hiz (sp?)... you'd think that they'd hate the fiery Ro gods for what they did. And why are high elven wizards even allowed to worship him? Very interesting. I hope PoP reveals some info...
