It's fine for a barb merc because most of its damage comes from the MH. So as an offhand aura / fade / life tap (assuming you don't want to use another curse), it will make your merc practically immortal. The dmg output of that setup is only a tiny bit lower than double eth headstriker and stronger vs act bosses.
Do we know how true this actually is? (most damage comes from mainhand)
Current: 2x eth headstriker
Considering: eth headstriker + lawbringer (decrepify only for the merc's own damage, as I want help with cold immune bosses on my blizz sorc, plus i play hardcore and lawbringer is nice for chaos etc.)
But I watched dbrunski's youtube video of damage test in 2.4 beta, I know it's a very isolated test but 2x eth headstriker was WAY faster than eth headstriker+lawbringer (29 seconds vs 1 minute.) Not sure if blizzard made changes to merc damage since his test though.
