the spear makes no sense at all. block is an action you specifically perform with a shield. being a polearm and therefore 2-hand, you cannot have a shield equipped, so you cannot block. bug or useless item.
the cloth item drambuie linked is probably a bug too. note how it says "requires level 70" but the item level is 120? that's just not right. with 50 ilevels over, it should be epic or legendary. and the stats are absolutely crap for ilvl120. apart from the fact it's a pointless item =)
edit: (just as a comparison: t3 chestpieces are some of the best gear ingame now. they have ilvl92, usable at 60. that's 32 ilevels over, compared to 50 on this green junk).
you do get weird stats sometimes, though. some items just have random stats. like a "Plate Belt of ABC" where abc is some random combination of int, sta, block, spelldamage or whatever. some of it makes sense (like leather gloves of the tiger), some of it is just useless. we once had a shield with +shadow damage drop. uhm, yeah, nice...
