Agree with Molson. As a former 200-400VR owner, my belief is that all copies are great at closer distances (less than 30 metres) but at longer ranges it can be hard to find a sharp one, though I know there are some out there. Keep in mind it's really an f4.5 lens (t-factor) and AF is quite slow for a "pro" AF-S lens. That said, there are some folks who use the lens for sports in good light, but it's not a lens for indoors or night action shooting.
I've been shooting birds with my 200-400/4 VRI for the last 6-7 years and have never found its AF speed slow for this kind of subject. Compared to my 200/2 VRI and 600/4 VR, the AF speed and accuracy of the 200-400 is exceptionally good for a zoom-lens (on pro cameras though).

Even with a TC attached, the focus speed still is pretty good :
