Went ahead and picked up the Boneshatter for testing. For level equivilant mobs, with a little life stealing, it really does make you nearly unstoppable with groups of mobs. I will try and pick up a level 60+ version of the effect tonight and see what can be done with it. Looks like it can have some fun potential till blizzard patchs this out. Honestly can not see them leaving it in the game for long.
Did some more testing with with my Barb equiped with Sever. Discusting. I was pulling large groups of trash mobs along with my elite packs. The death of the trash mobs was enough to keep healing me to full faster then the elites could dmg me.
I was using 3% life steal, and I removed all but 40 of my life on hit. I removed all life regeneration as well.
Just a matter of time till this gets nerfed (possibly since it is only on 3 items) but it is crazy fun till then.
Combiing this with cleave / rupture = slaughter house fun.
I picked one up for 700k, saw some really nice ones for 2 million and change. Just keep an eye on the prices and you can find a decent one for very reasonable. Mine was 900 base DPS, with some decent stats.

Sever has only one random property and you probably want it to be socket, so you can't have LoH or massive strength on it.
And its dmg is not top too.
So you will stay alive but are not going to kill stuff faster.
