The wording of poisoned says wounds on 4+ UNLESS a lower result would be required. In addition if the s of the attacker is equal or higher than the t of the victim, the wielder must reroll failed wounds.
So if you have s5 poisoned (4+) attacks vs t3, are you wounding on 2+ with rerolls of failed wounds? Am I understanding that right guys?

You got it. Poison is pretty awesome.

That is indeed good news, I was playing it wrong, what a doofus!
Thanks!

To be fair, it was different in 5th (you always had to use the "to wound" number of the poison, regardless of the model's strength), so you may have been hung up on that.

Its why you have the less awesome fleshbane, which lacks the rerolls, as poison can be incredibly strong in 6th

Yes Maelstrom808 I didn't realise it had changed in 6th, so I was correct in the past!
Makes sense now with fleshbane, cheers guys you are indeed learned : )
