Back in 4.3, Kisko put an excellent thread together that ranked expected trinket DPS. It looks like Kisko has retired, and though Anaxie has continued his thread, no one has picked up this one. In an effort to cut down on the number of threads asking what trinkets are BiS as we move from 5.0 to 5.1 and beyond, I'll be working to keep this thread up to date.
Excel tool
Available here. Try it out and, if you're handy with Excel, critique my methodology. Nothing is locked down, so play around.
Stat Weights
I have a set of T14H weights generated in SimulationCraft, using the most up to date profiles available. Everyone should generate their own weights to get the most accurate trinket ranking for their gearset. (Please note that with the nerf to our 4pc T14, these will change slightly....we're just waiting on an updated release to run the numbers again.)
T14H: Hit (3.73) > Str (3.61) > Exp (2.59) > Haste (2.02) > Mastery (1.64) > AP (1.57) > Crit (1.56)

Calculation & Logic
DPS Calculation is: (StaticStat * StatWeight * StaticCoeff) + (ProcStat * StatWeight * ProcUptime [ProcDuration / ProcICD] * ProcCoeff)
- Coefficients are based on a seven minute fight.
- You will be able to get slightly better value out of any trinket by lining it up better with AW/GoAK/ES.
- Prepot is used, and a second pot during second GoAK.
- ES is used 5 secs into the fight to allow Inq, then on cooldown.
- AW is used on the pull and on cooldown.
- GoAK used on the pull and on cooldown.
- Inq takes 5 secs to get up, then never falls off for more than 2.5 secs.
- Proc trinkets take an average of 5 seconds to proc every time.
- Use trinkets are used at 5 seconds (for Inq), then on cooldown.
- All coefficients are based on your stat weights and SimCraft calculated dps.
- Base proc value is the average DPS it would provide as a static stat, or ((ProcStat * StatWeight) + DPS)/DPS.
- If a potion is up, you are getting a % dps increase of ((4000str * StrWeight) + DPS)/DPS. Multiply Base proc by this amount.
- If ES is up during a proc, multiply the proc value by 1.05
- If AW is up during a proc, multiply the proc value by 1.20
- If GoAK is up during a proc, multiply the proc value by 1.17 (average gain from GoAK)
- If Inq is not up (only on the pull), multiply the value by 0.8
Changelog:
3/10/12: First run at coefficients. Updated Ranking. WTF Daelo & Coren.
3/10/12: Fixed up some calculation errors. Daelo & Lessons do not get a bonus to their static stats. (Hit / Exp)
4/10/12: Fixed Daelo's, JCF, Inq uptime, 4pc lineup, minor bugfixes.
5/10/12: Coren's Cold Chromium Coaster is garbage. With 25% crit chance, you have a 2.5% chance to proc it per attack, leading to poor uptime.
10/10/12: Added link to Excel spreadsheet. Added proc trinket ICDs.
16/10/12: Updated JCF and Iron Belly Wok procs. Fixed a couple minor calculation errors.
4/11/12: New numbers for the 4pc nerf. Removed H & LFR JCF. Removed pre-raid DPS numbers. New spreadsheet release.
7/12/12: New spreadsheet release with upgrade capabilities. Complete rankings for all trinket upgrade levels. Lei Shin's is now Lei Shen's!
