Desirability
The necklace of Bloodlust is definitely not the sort of item you'd want to use regularly, but it can still be situationally useful. Although +5 damage and +30 magic resistance on an amulet are both excellent properties, the most common solution for the berserkitis it inflicts (an amulet of clarity) is not an option, as your amulet slot will already be filled. This makes it a terrible piece of gear for any non-Ashenzari or undead character to wear for any extended period of time. However, it may be useful for characters who find themselves facing a particularly nasty lone melee threat. The slaying bonus will be quite helpful, and furthermore, berserking would likely be a benefit in this situation, instead of a detriment. However, at a 9% chance per attack, don't rely on the berserkitis from this amulet as a means of berserking. And make sure you have the means to remove it if it recurses itself.
