Y = the static value added onto Shred normally
2.25*X + Y + 88 = 2.25*Z + Y (eliminate Y on both sides and divide through by 2.25)
X + 39.1 = Z
39.1 = Z-X (convert Z and X to the base dmg formulas)
39.1 = (zAP - xAP)/14 (multiply 14 through)
547.7 = zAP - xAP
- Adds at least 22 DPS to the standard rotation
Assuming no crits, misses, dodges = 3x88 = 264 damage over ~12 second rotation
Idol of Terror
- 65 agility grants 71 AP & 2.66 crit over 10 seconds, 85% proc rate, 10 sec hidden cooldown
- scaled by the proc rate, that is 60 AP & 2.26% crit
Negating the 60 AP, Everbloom has a ~488 AP advantage vs 2.26 crit of Terror. You would have to be way over the AP/Crit balance line for Everbloom to not be the better idol.

Pretty much, except that the 60 ap and 2.26% crit applies to all attacks, including white attacks, effectively meaning that it is 488 ap applied to 35% of your damage vs. 60 ap/2.26% crit applied to 70% (considering rip/mangle generally equate to about 30% of your damage and the idol would not be applying to them in an ideal rotation). So, without further mathcraft, you can basically safely assume the Everbloom comes out on top. Someone feel free to prove me wrong, as I would rather do higher dps than be right here.
