You can get 73.3 spellpower out of it under the best circumstances (except dotting multiple mobs, which will favor the AToC). Icon yields 68.9 spellpower under worst circumstances (fights that last exactly two minutes or a multiple thereof, no heroism/bloodlust or other tricks to combine it with).
Given the lack of control the thing has, and the meager potential benefits, the Icon is simply better. I'm all for stuff that gives you power at a price, but in this case I wouldn't make the bet.

I realize you dont use Corruption, because of dps/threat/mana/isb issues. I was trying to get a convincing argument for explaining why scrubs use this trinket.
Corruption is a loss for dps.
Corruptions higher damage per threat
Corruption's lower DPM
Using Corruption results in a loss of isb uptime.
Any flaws in these statements?
EDIT: I know Icon is clearly better, but what about quag's eye? Does anyone feel if it's worth it to start using corruption to use this trinket over quag's eye? If so please explain.
