Is the Shadowflame Sword worth using?

It’s also a very fast weapon with its 1.2 Attack Speed, making it a solid option for Rogues. However, the main strength of this weapon is its effect: When equipped, activating Blade Flurry engulfs you in Shadowflame, causing your attacks to ignore 2000 of your target’s armor.
