Oh come on, that weapon is only usable in a tight block of men. If you tried fighting a dragon (or even a human) with that on your own, he'd just swat the tip aside and walk right past it, at which point your weapon would become useless.
Thats where skill plays in. This is not a kung fu movie. Spears are outright deadly weapons if you are slow and wearing armor that restricts all bullet time movement.
I guess I'm in the minority, then, because I think the Dwemer were the absolute best part about MW. Especially so for the way the authors used them to refresh and revitalize the dwarf archetype.
They were good but weren't "Cool!" good. They were interesting in their own sense not in "Cool!" sense.
I'll be the first to admit I love spears, but Phylanx Spears, the ones shown there, are usually well over 4 feet long, there is no 'skill' that will make THAT usuable in a one on one fight, the length of it with the weight of it(note, if made of wood it would bend and be useless, so it would need to be made of metal) would make it stupidly easy to knock away, this isn't some Kung Fu or Bullet Time thing, it's the fact a spear that long and heavy is just plain unweildy.
I, personilly, don't differenciate between Good and Cool Good. If I see something I really like, I call it Cool. Such as the Dweamer Ruins.
