Perdu Voulge will beat M Buji in most situations because of its' higher DMG and the Accuracy and Attack Bonus during WS.
On the other hand, should you find yorself with some extra TP (building TP to SATA WS a tank or such), M Buji may land biger numbersr.
Also, if you were to fully merit savagery that would allow you to use M Buji even more effectively while under the effect of Warcry, as it would account as having a total of 300 TP with just half the real ammount (100 tp bonus from M Buji and 50 tp bonus from Savagery while under the effect of Warcry).
As for Rune chopper, it's a really funny weapon to have, as long as you have some MP merits (I would never suggest sacrificing some armor slots to gain MP but Kirin's Osode is somewhat ideal for this purpose) and enough refresh to cover for the 3MP/Tick loss from it.
Getting 1 or 2 MP won't allow you to gain full benefit of the latent, it will smply stretch the countdown to halving the effect. You need to at least keep your MP pool steady to be sure you get the bonuses all the time.
Depending on circumstances ( 1-3 Bards, Refresh or no ) I use Rune chopper or Fortitude Axe for Zergs mainly, but if you find yourself in a merit party and the RDM doesn't mind bumping you with a Refresh, then I love Rune chopper.
Haste cap FTW.
