The IS mk2 version is AMAZING, but that doesn't mean there can't be an issue with the lens itself.

Rubbing it twice before hitting the shutter button helps. It aligns the defractorial angle better. :P Canon 6D

There are many threads and hundreds of posts here that compare all of the 70-200mm zooms. Almost everyone has come to the same conclusion that the 70-200mm 2.8 IS II and the 70-200mm f4 IS are far superior to the others. So, it appears the folks here can be trusted. Did you read the reviews at Photozone or the digital picture?

I have read the reviews and stuff but wanted to try for myself.

I know people debate the quality of all these lenses, but all of them are very, very good in real world scenarios. You may try turning off IS in situations where it isn't going to help and waiting a second for the IS to fully initialize while using it. Taylor
