Combine the 25% chance to proc DP as well as the 4pc on any finisher, as well as the fact that either and both can proc each other, with the fact that neither of the GCDs from TV or DS benefit from haste, and you have yourself a recipe for some really interesting secondary stat choices in 5.4.
And isn't that what will be both very interesting and fun about our 4tier bonus and the DP talent? Both can proc either one or both simultaneously. It has to present some very serious problems with regard to simulations and stat weights, and I would imagine with the way secondary stats are scaling for us this upcoming tier that we can no longer simply rely on a simulation to tell us exactly what is going to be the most efficient way to itemize our gear. I think its a brave new world out there, and I can't wait to meet it head on!
