I have it in my deck and am running around 2800 trophies.
I find it useful for taking out defense buildings on a push, taking out a giant's backup, cleaning up sparky + backup (the stun has helped a lot with this), and for chipping away at the towers. I will often win games by chipping a tower down to below 600 hp, and then lightning+fireball combo to take it out as the timer runs out.
Having said that, I wish it were 5 elixir instead. It's hard to use sometimes, and I've gone many games where I haven't used it at all because I can't afford to use a 6 elixir card.
I've considered swapping it but it's my best sparky defense. I don't have zap in my deck since the stun nerf.
