Scars of Velious
I got this about 2 weeks ago, and I have to say, I do love it.
I mainhand with RB offhand, and this procs like mad. Of course, in a group without a good taunter, (see: Paladin or SK) I take my fair share of hits.
The significant advantage of this proc however is the snare. The poison only adds 7.5dps, but in zones like PoV and such where mobs flee, and in groups where you can't always get a Ranger, the proc is invaluable. Even unbuffed (DEX low 200s), this will proc 2-3 times in a fight, and buffed with 280 DEX, I've seen it hit 10 times or more in a single fight. That gets a lot of taunt, but hey, we get evade for a reason.
In a solo situation, this thing can make life a whole lot easier, or in the off chance that you get jumped while crossing a zone, the proc can save you easily.

this weap serves two purposes:
snaring in exp groups w/ no ranger or druid or sk or necro around..
and owning the hell out of people in PvP. assuming their PR isn't too high :)

You see, a poison based slow is almost invaluable. There are plenty of totally MR big encounters that cannot be slowed, but poison resist can be blasted to hell by malo/scent of terris. 35% slow isn't that great, but it's a HUGE difference if something is quadding for 950.
The only problem with what you said is this:
It would be that way BEFORE Verant made the magic resist changes just lately.
Now, mobs can be immune to specific spell effects such as Movement (Snare/Darkness/Root), Slow, Mezmerize, etc. Totally immune. No matter how much you malo/scent/tash them, they are immune to it. You can nerf their MR down to negative and it will still be immune to whatever spell effect it is immune to. Resists don't even come into play.
So even if this WAS a Poison-Based Slow (which its not, its a MOVEMENT REDUCTION, aka, Snare), it would still not work on a Malo/Scented to hell Mob that was immune to Slow.

This is a movement slow (aka snare) not an attack slow. It would say decrease attack speed if it was a Turgor type of slow. This is basically the really nice, uber damage delay version of a Serrated Bone Dirk. Dont get me wrong, as a rogue, I would still give valuable parts of my anatomy for a weapon like this, but it doesnt do what you are thinking it does.
