On my Magplar, not really. The only way for them to go off on that character is on light and heavy attacks, and that has only a 20% chance of going off. I have sat there and light attacked someone 10 times just to try to get the damn thing to proc.
If I was playing a stamina build, I would use them all the time, no question (or a mag build that also uses many weapon based skills). They are particularly OP for stamina builds to use.

Not all builds, not all the time, but in some specific situations poisons are just too good to pass up.
Against mDK, for example, resource poisons are extremely effective given their already high ability costs and the lack of any form of purge.
