Desirability
A "freedom of movement" style effect is desirable throughout the game, especially in places where constriction is common, like Spider (webs) and Shoals (nets). The +4 EV is a welcome bonus.
However, the Slippery effect is generally a downside. Being forced to move, at seemingly random intervals, can cause a lot of problems. You can be forced off staircases, you can be forced onto traps or into water, and your position can often be worse. And Slippery is unreliable: since you must be damaged in order for it to proc, dodging an attack means you won't get pushed back.
However, if you can manage fights / positioning well, then many negatives from Slippery can be negated. Fighting with your back against a wall (or against another monster) will prevent you from being pushed back.
