How do Berserker Darts work?

Do they cause my target to go berserk, or the person throwing the darts?

It is most likely that it applies to the target, turning them against their friends and allies.
The best way to see though, is to try them :) .

Berserker Darts only affect monsters. I usually just sell items that have a percent chance to be successful. For a ranged attack, darts are too weak. Throwing axes are a better alternative or arrows/bolts for the appropriate long range weapon.
I'd rather be part bull than a complete sheep.

I think Darts are good for single-class Mages that have few options on Missile Weapons. But I agree, I'm not much of a fan of percentage effects either :p .

Darts are awesome weapons against spellcasters. Since you throw three in a round, there's a pretty good chance you'll disrupt their spells. The chance at sending the spellcaster into a rage (and forcing them to enter melee combat) is a huge bonus on top of it all.

I'll be saving these darts for some mage fights, thanks!
