Are 2 Bonus Items Junk?

Proof? I used about 40 cubes on my unique smiling mask trying to get 2% all stats/2% hp, none oft hem turned 3.

I'll be working on one of my Staves a bit later. I will SS to prove that it gets 3 stats. (most of my cubing has taken an item from 2 to 3 stats before it has gone from Rare to Epic, which is why I have a number of Rare items with 3 stats.) My best anecdotal example is my Earring. When I first got it, it was crap. Cubed it once and it became a thieves dream (+3% LUK and +6 LUK). Thought of selling it, but cubed it instead. In about 5 cubes, it gained a 3rd stat. after 27 cubes, it became +3%Int +12Avoid and +3Int.
