Now that these axes only require lvl 71 instead of lvl 80 as of the last mini-patch, they have gone from utterly useless to absolutely AMAZING. As an Ulduar-25 level item (ilvl 226), they can put out more damage PER SWING than even the hierloom two-handers can do at lvl 71. Additionally, it is possible to farm up 2 of these (if you're willing to take the time on two different characters) and then dual-wield them, which basically turns all of Northrend into EZ mode if your playing on a toon such as an Enhancement Shaman that can use them.

I've uploaded 2 screenshots so everyone can see how awesome these axes look when you DUAL-WIELD them. They sheath on your back, so you get a very cool "cross-axe" visual.

It also looks like Blizzard has FINALLY fixed the issue of these axes being "stackable" items in your inventory which was accidentally wiping the durability/enchants for one of the player's axes. It's a good thing too, because nothing was more frustrating than forking out all the mats for the Berserking enchant just to have it wiped away due to an item stacking glitch.
