Few things:
1) You forgot the 25% reduction to players.
2) The trinkets do scale with ilvl
3) 2.25*24000+2164 = 56164, not 56614

I was looking at rough power increase. I think I might spend some time on PTR tonight with the gear they give you to get an idea on the power scaling and perhaps some more concrete numbers. In the end though we will not know about the trinket until someone has it in hand.
Also, can anyone give me definitive on the 84% versus 14% thing? I am curious where you guys all got 84%?
Going to say I'm of the mindset these tooltips are grossly out of whack and someone just threw numbers on these things to get them started. A proc that increases crit damage, haste AND mastery by 84%? You wouldn't even need another item from SoO, even with current gear. Just get that thing and destroy the universe with it.
I've been mostly a pve carebear for almost all of MoP and even from that perspective, there's no way in hell a trinket that does this goes live.
Ahh, I am looking at the one that has 14% baseline and a int proc and there is another trinket with an 84% proc. Wow, you know I will have to spend some time working through LFR on my lock so I can run each week for this trinket. 84% increase on mastery, haste, crit damage and baseline intellect? Hell yes!
Okay, so let's assume that the trinket will scale down to 67%. Let's also assume that the cut the proc in half like they did the shadow-pan trinkets. That would take it down to 34% rounded up. I don't have numbers on ilvl 522 gear set that is also gemmed, etc yet so let's just see.
So first number is going to be a chaos bolt hitting a regular target with no CDs and assuming you are on a team that can provide mastery (ele shaman most likely) self buffed SP on a cursed target. Hehe, I am excited to see numbers!
Live:
56614*2*1.03*1.05*1.43*1.85*1.33*.35*.75 = 113101 Chaos bolt.
Now let's say you don't upgrade any of your gear but instead just get the trinket and the crit damage is multiplicative and it is nuetered to only be 34% increase (and ignore the 2k int cause I am lazy)
56614*2.68*1.03*1.05*1.43*2.06*1.33*.35*.75 = 168759 Chaos Bolt. Almost a 50% increase in chaos bolt.
That is still pretty damn strong even with the scaling and 50% pvp nerf. Not taking into account increase in stats from gear ilvl. I could easily see warlocks two shotting people during a hard CC...

I'm kind of on the fence with this one, especially as a human. Looking at the trinket set, both are movement impairment trinkets. Yuck. Talk about wasted stats and on-use procs. Sure the 10% flat damage reduction is tempting, but...
I honestly like the concept of a trinket set bonus, but I think a better way to go about it is:
Trinket (1): Any pvp trinket.
Trinket (2): Movement impairment trinket.
This evens the playing field when it comes to playing against humans, and grants the juicy 10% flat damage reduction set bonus.
I also think that other set bonuses, like a return of belt-boots-bracers, or ring-neck-cloak set bonuses could be a great thing for PVP. No so for PVE, as that time has already come and gone and the devs have said it's not coming back. But it would be a good thing for PVP since it would create (more) distinction between those who actively gear themselves for PVP versus those who don't. Perhaps a set bonus for belt-boots-bracers could be 10% increased PVP Power, and ring-neck-cloak could grant a stat that is useful for your spec.

i like your posts, they seem thorough.. i'm not going sit with a calculator to figure out of you carried a 1 or not but it was an interesting read.
[missed the post about the % drop]

thats some good news.. it's still a little high but at least it's more reasonable. if you look earlier i think i actually pointed out that i assumed the % would drop to around 70% or something.. i cant remember where i said that.
if it is under 70% i'll cry less.. it's still a good piece tho.

Nah, did not need all the maths it was more for the people that did not believe it was a over the top trinket.
BTW, I just made a lock on PTr and here are my self buffed stats in 522 gear.
SP: 29587
Crit: 22.19% (8034 rating)
Mastery: 68.55% (8910 rating)
PvP Power: 44.51%
So with the scaled and 50% nerfed trinket bolts would hit for... duh duh duh
( ( 2.25 * 29587 ) + 2164 ) * 2.68 * 1.03 * 1.05 * 1.52 * 2.05 * 1.44 *.35*.75 = 234653. HAHAHAAA I have 550K health buffed, which as you know locks are higher than most.... so 50% of my health...
i dont understand. did you factor an avg resil reduc into that number again? if you didnt.. that's not that crazy... probably around 170k - (+whatver reduction buffs and spells they have on).. so basically about twice what live hits for without cds i guess.
if you did and i missed it somehow = ruh roh.
( ( 2.25 * 29587 ) + 2164 ) * 2.68 * 1.03 * 1.05 * 1.52 * 2.05 * 1.44 *.35*.75 = 234653
2.25 is the chaos bolt spell power scaling
29587 is the self buffed spell power of the PTR lock
2164 is the chaos bolt additional static increase
2.68 is the crit bonus assuming the 34% crit is multiplicative instead of additive
1.03 is meta gem crit modifier
1.05 is damage from curse of elements
1.52 is 22% crit and 30% crit from dark soul
2.05 is from mastery taking into account 3k mastery from ele shaman
1.44 is from pvp power
.35 is the 65% resilience
.75 is the 25% reduction that chaos bolt has on players
I am sure I have missed stuff, it is just kind of napkin math numbers to get an idea. I really am starting to hate this stupid game and the burst. No fun at all.
84% is a tooltip error i believe, its in the 39% range to i believe, or close to it.
Edit: 36% http://ptr.wowdb.com/spells/146047-i...-amplification
Thats pre scaling. Meaning thatll be a good amount lower
That's what it is on ilvl 463 gear, if it was 36% on 553, it would mean the trinket is worse than any of the 5.2 trinkets and even most of the 5.0 trinkets.
Also, I think it's also a good thing to look at other classes, because right now all I've seen is people looking at the best scaling spell in game, which will blizzard will just stealth nerf again if the damage gets too high. Going from 496 to 522 gear alone without cooldowns up already means a ~20k-30k damage increase.
