Mezraq: DMG:93 Delay:492 STR+2 VIT+2 Additional effect: Impairs evasion
Thalassocrat: DMG:94 Delay:492 HP+10 DEX+2 VIT+2 Enhances "Resist Virus" effect Additional effect: Impairs evasion
AFAIK, the proc is the same, and for most purposes resist virus and +10 hp can be ignored. (If you were choosing a weapon for survivability in something like solo or campaign you'd choose Iron Ram Lance anyway.) So basically the tradeoff is 2 STR on Mezraq vs. 1 DMG and 2 DEX on Thalassocrat (plus the atk/acc those stats produce, which is either 1 or 2 points depending on rounding.)
Both STR and DEX have several useful effects, so it's hard to gauge how overall DPS would be affected by changing between the two (keeping all other factors constant). Probably there wouldn't be any very noticeable difference.
Jacaranda lumber doesn't have any AH history on my server, but if it's not completely ridiculous to obtain, Thalassocrat could be a hell of a lot cheaper to make than Mezraq (which is absurdly expensive ever since Salvage came out, because of the resulting enormous demand for imperial wootz). The other ingredients aren't anything too horrible (adaman ingots, which are likely to fall once more people start doing the new past-Bastok quest and replace all the ones sucked out of the economy for GB7).
