Last Wish - Worthwhile?

Just curious really, but with keysets and organs being traded around through the new ladder, I've decided to create an Uber Smiter/Zealot for taking out dclone/mini ubers and the big 3.

I've made a Zealot before with Grief/eBotd and he could take them with 1 pt Smite, though it did take a little while longer because he was suited more to PVM with Zeal.

Now, I've taken another gander at the runewords that Ladder has to offer and came across Last Wish. I've seen it being thrown around last Ladder season but didn't get a chance to test it out. From what I can see it is ridiculously expensive - but is it worth it?

Upon first looking at it, it has some extremely useful mods -

Last Wish
Jah - Mal - Jah - Sur - Jah - Ber
6% Chance To Cast Level 11 Fade When Struck
10% Chance To Cast Level 18 Life Tap On Striking
20% Chance To Cast Level 20 Charged Bolt On Attack
Level 17 Might Aura When Equipped
+330-375% Enhanced Damage (varies)
Ignore Target's Defense
60-70% Chance of Crushing Blow (varies)
Prevent Monster Heal
Hit Blinds Target
+(0.5 per character level) 0.5-49.5% Chance of Getting Magic Items (Based on Character Level)

There's a lot to like about it, but without any experience, I don't really know if it's worth the trouble of making. I know for one thing it doesn't have any IAS - is this why people make it in a Phase Blade instead of a Zerker? I also know that repairing runewords is ridiculous, so a Phase Blade (which has no durability) would probably be best for it still.

Just wanted to know what other people think about this runeword. Is it worth it, or is it overrated?
