Both weapons are good, but they are used differently. If I'm just going to run up and stand on the enemy with a beatdown I'd use the Vorpal Blade, but if I want to do a more support oriented Warlord I'm going Heart of Gravitor all the way. As pointed out, the ranged slam attack is the main appeal, but it also means I can run around smashing down those pesky Wizard's Towers and Battle Forges with, on average, one attack and a Piercing Strike.
And while not the greatest card, Akiro's Battle Cry certainly has it's uses. Try coupling it with Force Wave to clear a path for your charging soldiers. But you're right, it is a hard card to use effectively. The high mana cost means that it's definitely not a spell that you just whip out, but rather something that you plan for, setting up your pieces in the most optimal position before throwing it out.
