It is my go to lens for most portrait work and on a full frame camera is my workhorse lens for weddings. However when you start adding tc's to give more reach it starts to lose it's edge a little. In my experience the 100-400 is better than the 70-200 with a 2x tc (though apparently the 70-200 mkII with a 2x is as good as the 100-400). If you need the focal length then go for the 100-400, if you want an amazing portrait lens then go for the 70-200.
I echo this - couldn't put it better ~ John
