The problem of the trinket and the huge amount of hit, is that you maybe always cant forge the highest secondary stat on an item to crit (for example, there are items out there with 500 hit and 800 mastery/haste).
So, especially the heroic thunderforged version of this trinket 2x upgraded in 5.3 to dramatise it a little more, has 1887 hit on it. 40% of that is 755, so you are stuck with 1132 hit on just that item. 1% hit is 340 so 1132/340=3,33% hit on just 1 item. You better prey you are not a draenei, or gnome with sword/dagger or human with sword. You will have a very hard time getting near 15%.
