I have before, many damn times. And this isn't bads we're talking about.
Trinket is amazing for Blackhorn imo. You can soak 4 barrages by yourself as a prot warrior. Tell me that doesnt help the raid? Less deck fires. Now with the nerfs its not as essential, i grant you that. But it doesn't change the fact that when things were actually somewhat difficult, this shit saves lives and gets kills, just in a different way. As well, during 359 times, this was BiS. During 378 firelands, still BiS. Especially for Prot warriors. Only magic reduction we have is shield block (6sec after using - meaning it's not as controllable as you would always like), and if you count shield wall. Having this every minute as a prot warr this expansion has made magic damage a worry of the past. We don't have AMS or other random abilities that make us immune to damage. So yeah, calling it overrated is retarded.
Let's not forget its uses in PVP. You can use this as FC when you'r getting focused. It literally fucks up all magic burst for 10 sec.
