I don't have personal experience with it, as I don't have an Electric Melee stalker at 50 in order to use the proc.
But since I know Smoke Flash does not put you back into Hide, it is reasonable to assume the proc doesn't either.

True, I didn't think of that power.

How, you ask? ....You can slot it in any version of Charged Brawl that exists in the game. The sleep effect in it is only mag 1, and has a very low chance to happen, but you can still slot sleep sets in the power. People frequently forget that Charged Brawl HAS a sleep component, because it's so weak and they never see it happen. That means you can have a chance to Placate on an /Electric Manipulation blaster, or an Electric Melee stalker. Or a Dominator. You could use it on a scrapper, tank, or brute too, but I can't imagine why you'd want to bother, especially with the tank. |

First on the set bonuses, other then the two that are the same (2.25% End & 6.25% Recharge) the other differences are Entropic has a 10% Regen vs Decimation's 1.12% HP and Entropic has 2.75% Confuse vs Decimation's 2.75 Immobilize. Since the status resistances are mostly throw away that leaves a 10% Regen vs 1.12% HP, these can both be very useful depending on what you are looking for in my opinion. 6 slotted Decimation does add 1.58 resistance to toxic and psionic as well but that is not enough unless you really trying to build for these two resistances.
Second, better enhancement values. Yes - conditionally. Without going to 6 slots decimation forces you to make a choice between the 2 different 3 enhancements (Acc/End/Rech or Acc/Dam/Rech). Acc/End/Rech gives you well rounded bonus to Acc/End/Rech but leaves damage a bit short. Acc/Dam/Rech leaves End a bit short. Assumming you are going to slot the proc that is.
Better Proc. Yes agree. However that proc is unique so you can only slot one in build while the Entropic chaos as said can be slotted many times if you choose.
Slot 5 levels earlier. Yes if you are slotting at max level. I tend to try to slot these as close to 30 as possible since the difference in enhancement bonuses is trivial between 30, 35 or 40.
Entropic chaos is useful for dominators aiming for permadom - as stated it can be slotted five levels earlier than Decimation, so you get to keep the set bonuses (and if everything goes well your permadom) while exemplaring five levels lower.
Also when you use your first couple blasts as dom builders - or heck, actual attacks (and my fire/fire/fire perma'd Dom can use a working attack chain of Flares/Flares/Flares... :-p) the chance of heal goes up significantly. I have EC slotted in both Flares and Fire Blast, and I can fire Flares every 3 seconds or so, so it can give me up to 15-20 shots a minutes - the proc will almost definitely go off.
Should it replace the Medecine pool, a good Empath, or heck, a green pill in an emergency? Heck no. But it sure helps make sure I don't need any of those as often as some other toons I've crossed paths with.

QFT. I have a set slotted on a scrapper because I liked the recharge bonus, it only heals 67 points on my level 50. Sad indeed.

Fortunata proc in Will Domination was the bees knees for any pvp psi defender/blaster for the longest time (even if it wasn't bugged and procced 100% of the time it would still be good) since it forces your target to have to retarget you. That said in PvE it is still crap, and ironically it will hurt you slotting it into a power like mass hypnosis, which normally doesnt cause aggro, but the proc turns it into an aggroing power.

i personally like the absolute amazement chance for tohit because it does -7% tohit and i believe it was unresistable (when the proc was working, i have no idea if its still broken or was fixed or was fixed and rebroken)
