Yeah, the FDS skin is kind of a newbie weapon, since there are a lot of them floating around and all the new Warriors tend to use them for the skin. They're generally somewhat frowned upon later because they're stuck with an irreplaceable fiery sword hilt, so they can't be upgraded to be sundering or furious or any of the other more common choices for mods.
I agree that IDS are pretty cool looking, but since they're not inscribable and are always 15^50 I can't really use it on my tanking build. I'll have a think, but I can't immediately think of another place I could usefully use one. If the solo farming doesn't work out so well, I'd be happy to try and help people farm some in a group.
