There aren't a lot of people who do this while pking, and I think it's annoying when people do it, but it does seem to work. There are quite a few pkers I'd consider good who use gani items while pking, as well as people who think they're too good and spam :lol's and :asleep's.

I see slim doing it a lot. Doesn't make him any better though, I actually think he gets worse because he has to focus on doing it. But it has the desired effect on his haters, they rush.
I see No1 doing that as well, same thing though. Doesn't make him any better, only worse imo.
Only person who I think can do it effective is Tom_The_Turkey, he and his egg emoticon are pretty hard to stop. Plus he's got a good troll game.
I use the splash boots, and I often get better against certain players when I do, since they can make it harder to tell where my character is facing. The umbrella is more just for fun then anything else, aesthetic effect.
Overall opinion:
Using it as a taunt only works against people who can't stand to not feel like their good, is very ineffective against players who don't care all that much.
