At the onset of the cataclysm, this potion was designed as a new variant of the 'Crazy Alchemist's Potion' . It had two iterations, both of which took into account that if you are an alchemist, the effect will be shifted in favor of the player, and it also took into account the 'Alchemist Stone'. Now, this potion has shed its 'Mysterious' label and has turned into a mere gamble, unable to even match the 'Potion of Concentration' which receives bonuses from alchemical stone. Rendering even luck irrelevant…
I'm not sure when and why the developers made this change in the latter half of the cataclysm, but it effectively rendered the potion obsolete. It would have been more interesting if it remained competitive with the PoC.
