Exactly. Poison rune was never really the main attack, that was summons, frenzied guys, and your enchanted knives. Poison rune is a great force multiplier. For example, if I am jumped by 3 of those surprisingly deadly dawnguard, I can stack a few runes on 2 of them and fear them, while I focus on fighting the other 1. It allows so that even when fighting enemies 1v1, they are all still taking damage.
