This is a simple question that can be very easily verified by back of the envelope calculation even if you didn't have access to RAWR or Simcraft. EJ forum is a forum for discussion of the detailed mechanics game, especially end game mechanics, and not an elementary help forum.

Original Post:
Hey 1st post so please forgive me if this was posted elsewhere but I couldn't see it in this thread. I was using the Moonwell Chalice trinket (ilvl 365 +340 Int, +1700 Mastery on use) until I found Necromantic Focus (ilvl 378, +383 Int, procs 39 mastery counting up to 10x for DOTs)
As Arcane has only 1 spell which can proc this trinket, Flamestrike, which is only really used for dealing with large numbers of mobs is the old one better despite it having 40 less Int? If your looking at RAID boss fights your unlikely to proc this trinket on most fiights as you are single targetting so the proc is basically not being used. So does 43 Extra Int give more DPS than the ability to proc 1700 mastery for 20 seconds every 2 mins (1/6 of your time DPSing if using efficient macros).
