Sim lists use a 5 minute long fight, you'll find better value off of CoF on a longer or shorter fight than that so people assume that means trinket lists are "broken" due to that.
You do not need in any way the legendary shoulders to make it worthwhile/to take full advantage of it.
There's nothing inherently "flow" based with CoF being used. You can, with slightly more ease, align DT to buff both arbiter and some ghouls but overall buffing the ghouls does almost nothing to them, yeah it's extra damage but when it comes down to it you don't hold apoc at all for DT, when you could use it instead on DA. The two set and Death stacks don't even affect DA damage, so it's really just "I enjoy things all being used at once" more so than anything.
