May i just say, that since 3.0.8 patch, that allows druids to learn how to use polearms, this is now an awesome cat weapon!
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=9416 (Grimlok's Charge) is only better if you are in need of some additional HP. It's also far easier to obtain. So if you do need HP, Grimlok's charge IS better.
EDIT: The strength on http://www.wowhead.com/?item=9416 (Grimlok's Charge) HAS now been changed to AP, making Grimlok's charge a great weapon for hunters of the level.
Grimlok's Charge http://www.wowhead.com/?item=9416 is now a lot better for Hunters and classes who don't get any AP from strength. I was hoping that Blizzard would change the strength on this item to AP like they did on some weapons but as of this date it hasn't happened. Patch 2.3 has made this item drop 12 AP below Grimlok's Charge which is almost 1 dps.

Eyegouger is in the Classic Era game data, the era World of Warcraft: Forever is built on. Blizzard describes Forever as vanilla World of Warcraft plussed up: its story sits in year one, characters level to 60 and stay there, and it launches November 4, 2026. Blizzard has not said which vanilla items appear in Forever, so nothing here is a Forever claim; it is the Classic Era record for Eyegouger next to the live retail market on this page.
