    Have it in trinket slot 1 (top)

    /equip Sundial of the Exiled

    I think it's that simple at least.

    Don't think you can switch in combat tho.

    nope never...you could aim to leave combat then swap trinkets and then contiune...thinking world pvp here.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons."

    then you´re like 99% wrong.
    damn, would that be overpowered, especially in pvp...
    In the end the winner is still the last man standing.

    Hunters could fd and then switch trinkets when you still could leave combat during a boss encounter. Esp. usefull for engineers so they could put on http://www.wowwiki.com/Goblin_Jumper_Cables (when it was a trinket) and battlerezz during encounters. But this was fixed way back in vanilla when the entire instance is infight during a boss fight.

    You're thinking of Weapons/relics that can be switched in combat.

    Actually it was fixed mid TK/SSC before BT was released. Not during vanilla. They claimed hunters going out of combat to swap gear and drink in boss fights was a "bug" and they "fixed" it after 2 years.

    Btw here is the macro you are looking for:

    #showtooltip Hula Girl Doll
    /y CHOO CHOO IMMA CLOWN
    /camp
    /equip [Name of the trinket]

    I support this post. Give this macro a try.

    You can activate the trinket before the pull, and then switch with a macro, while still being out of combat.

    Above posters, are not aware of this mechanic of trolling..

    why would you want to? both are shitty trinkets at this stage in the game for any spec mage, and it's a pointless exercise in futility (redundant i know, it's the point).

    Yeh the above posters are unaware of this mechanic because the mechanic doesn't exist. If you use the trinket then unequip it, you loose the buff too. You shouldn't make up stuff to make yourself look cool. I suggest you try it yourself.

    FYI this applies to weapons with "Use:" effect too.
