And hello again, my fellow pink warriors.
List was updated using weights from high-mid i403 gearset with HM Slicer weapon and more accurate dps for several trinkets, like AoK and BLF, based on logs data.
Weights from SimCraft 4.30.6 Live: Patchwerk, 100k, i403 set (chardev of Anaxie @ Antonidas).
Cooldown coefficients and general logic from Chippydip, I enhanced his napkin math with SimCraft.
Several trinkets listed twice: good case () is a perfect scenario (100% line up with cooldowns, enough crits to get your stacks up), while bad case (
) is the worst possible luck when using particular trinket.

Calculation format is always value*[uptime]*weight*coeff, so you can decode it quite easily.
- Raw weights used (SimCraft, no CDs): Str 2.91, Mastery 1.85, Crit 1.79, Haste 1.34 (don't use them for comparisons, look below!).
- BLF (normal) calculated based on logs as 2.3% of damage (1050 dps) for single-target. Obviously, this trinket trumps everything for AoE fights.
- CoFD calculated for 120s ICD. It fluctuates back and forth by couple seconds, but in good case (
) you can line it up with every AW/Zeal. Bad case (
) - you lined up one out of three procs.
- AoK proc contribution is straight from the logs of the reference toon, good case is 5 stacks on first use, bad case is 1 stack on first use.
- Estimated EoU ramp-up is 10s.
- Trinkets from 5-man dungeons calculated for 50s ICD.
- See the 4.2 post for the legacy trinkets.
Conclusion:
It's safe to say that EoU is part of both normal and heroic BiS sets. 2nd place is CoFD.
Remember that certain fights in DS require special choice of trinkets.
