First off, you should use the 466 ilvl Zen Alchemist Stone in the comparisons, because all serious raiders have the upgraded version (+8ilvl). It's practically a free upgrade: just 1500JP, so it doesn't hinder any gearup progression for most raiders at this point, unlike VP upgrades.
Zen Alchemist Stone (466)
871 Mastery * 1.46 = 1271
1249 average Int from proc * 3.74 = 4671
TOTAL SCORE: 5942 instead of 5516. Significant difference.
QUESTION: How does mr.Robot model /use trinkets? I guess Mr.Robot probably takes a (15sec each 3 mins =) 8,33% Ascendance uptime into account as overall average, but that shouldn't be the case with /use trinkets. You can line the /use trinket up exactly with Ascendance, making the Ascendance uptime for that /use much higher than with a random proc trinket. For instance, for Static Caster's Medaillion's /use (15sec each minute), every third use has full Ascendance line-up (Ascendance = 15sec each 3mins), meaning there's not 8,33% but 30-33% Ascendance uptime for that /use. That makes the /use significantly more powerful, because DPS is practically doubled while Ascendance is up, hence also the score of that proc. The /use's score should be calculated with the standard 8,33% average Ascendance uptime, but a much higher one, depending on the cooldown of the /use. As you can see it can go from 8,33% all the way to 30%+.
Static Caster's Medallion
1152 Haste * 1.65 = 1901
1022 average Int from Proc * 3.74 = 3822
TOTAL SCORE = 5723
Lets take into account Ascendance has about 30% uptime (33,33% in theory) instead of 8,33% on the /use of 3838 intel (I thought 15sec out of 60sec +3838 intel is 959 average intel by the way, not 1022), because you can have full Ascendance uptime every third use. Then, instead of 959 average intel (15/60*3838) it's practically 959/1,0833*1,3 = 1150 effective average intel due to the much higher Ascendance uptime. Would make >>
Static Caster's Medallion
1152 Haste * 1.65 = 1901
1150 average Int from Proc * 3.74 = 4301
TOTAL SCORE = 6202
Ofcourse it's a rough estimate, but it's at least much closer than when modelled with a 8,33% Ascendance uptime on the proc. Huge difference. Now, Static Caster's better than Light of the Cosmos LFR, because it's a /use trinket with much higher Ascendance uptime on the /use than on Light of the Cosmos' more random proc. So, it's quite important to calculate /use score in another way than 'random' procs.
