Poisonous Serpent - How does it work exactly?

Looking at some sets and came across this, I'm building a Stam DK for PvP and just wondered if anyone could clarify on how this actually works?

(2 items) Adds 967 Max Stamina

(3 items) Adds 129 Weapon Damage

(4 items) Adds 967 Max Stamina

(5 items) When you deal damage with a Light or Heavy Attack against an enemy who has a Poison Damage ability on them, you have a 25% chance to deal an additional 6800 Poison Damage.

Does this basically mean that if I've got poisonous claw or injection on them light and heavy attacks can proc the effect?

    It says it has a 1 second cooldown? That must be OP?

    I think that poison builds using bow as main dps is weak. not enough burst for this current state of pvp.
