1.1% haste from the racial is a WORST CASE used-on-cooldown-without-stacking scenario when you use it at the start of the fight and the fight lasts exactly 3min, 6min, 9min, etc. Lets say the fight lasts 5 minutes. You have 2 uses of the racial with 1 minute left on the CD for the 3rd use. It averages out to 1.33% haste overall, but in this case the fight duration offers flexibility when you can choose the second use, say, during bloodlust. Lets say, best case scenario, that the fight lasts 6 minutes, 10 seconds. In that case the averaged out haste from the troll racial is 3.1% haste.
The goblin racial(s) have their uses to be sure. The rocket jump is situationally useful as a dps racial. I'm not arguing that trolls are better or worse than goblin. I'm saying the gap is tiny, as misdeed pointed out. Trolls also have 15% snare duration reduction as a racial which is a passive and always there, even when rocket jump would be on cooldown. Again, a situationally useful racial. My point is that Time is Money is INFERIOR to berserking as a pure dps racial, as opposed to utility. The goblins-as-a-higher-dps race statement from EJ assumes you use the rocket barrage on cooldown on a patchwerk style fight (ignoring the target uptime that the rocket jump can offer in movement fights, which is really hard to quantify as it can vary on a fight-by-fight basis).
