The proc is decent at 85s ICD and 15s duration, but I would still rather have BBoY/KTT/Wushoolay procs. The only place it could be good is if you have a few dedicated DPS dealing with lots of AoE spawns, while the rest of the raid can focus their damage on the boss. By that I mean for example Sha of Pride small adds or Shamans poison adds, I strongly doubt it's optimal to have your whole raid swap to those. However I don't think warlocks will be the best choice for the dedicated AoE role, because we have excellent boss damage (single or 2/3 targets) and our aggro dumps are not all that amazing.
TL;DR don't like cleave trinket.
