I'm considering switching to a 1 hander to take advantage of some of the sick shields coming out. I currently don't have parry on my sampire so I don't need to worry about the bushido penalty.
Won't change any of the sampires that I already have built and suited. I'm still working on xferring some sampires to shards where I only have PvPers, so I'll probably include the new items on those.
I really don't see it as much of a game-changer for PvM though, to be honest. One benefit I see is I got a plain leather gorget as loot last night, and it had 24 fire resist and 5 HCI as the only two mods. I can see imbuing that up then enhancing (can you enhance this stuff? Hope I can).
I see the new loot being more impactful to PvP. Reactive paralyze, more weapons with splinter, crazy ass rings with like 8 mods.
