That's a tough call. The sheet is designed around fixed terms & static equations. Definitely not the most accurate way to predict Balance DPS, but definitely the easiest. Incorporating the many dynamic elements of Balance DPS, especially trinkets like the Darkmoon cards, is best handled as average effects in this setup.
A far more accurate method of handling the whole project, and easily taking care of Darkmoon cards, NG procs, resists, Jow, Quag's Eye & spell-haste items, etc. etc. etc. would be a Monte Carlo simulation with simple deterministic rules. It would also be a fair amount of work, and right now there isn't a large enough community to justify the effort.
And of course no method is a replacement for some intelligence & real in-game experience. For now, you're going to have to rely on those more than anything when it comes to the Darkmoon cards.
(Just remember your proc up-time is going to be fairly fight specific).
