Hi Guys,

Browsing all the sites on dps optimization, I am still very puzzled about 1 thing. I did quite a bit of calculation on it and my math tells me Quagmirran's eye is the best trinket in-game. This seems a little odd, since nobody is saying this also and it's blue as well. Maybe you can crack my math and see if I went wrong somewhere. Help much appreciated:

Let's compare with Hex Shrunken head trinket, quite a good trinket as well (only Skull of Guldan better). And since GCD will be affected by haste in 2.4 anyway, let's just compare a lightning bolt spam for easy calculation.

Base stats:
spelldmg: 1500
spellcrit: 22% (35% with totem+talents)
LB base dmg: 633
LB coeff: 71.43%

DPS without any trinket:
DPS = ( (633+71.41% * 1500) * (1+35%) ) / 2s = 1150

DPS with Hex Shrunken Head:
211 dmg for 20s, with 120s CD -> additional spelldmg = 53 + 211/6 = 88.2 spelldmg
DPS = ( (633+71.41% * (1500+88.2) ) * (1+35%) ) / 2s = 1193

DPS with Quagmirran's:
320 haste -> 20.32% less casting time -> LB cast = 1.66s
duration 6s, CD 18s
proc chance 10%
After a proc, the time for a new proc is on average: 18s + 2s/10% = 38s
With a 6s duration, that means the proc is active 15.8% of the time
DPS = (1-15.8%) * ( (633+71.41% * (1500+37)) * (1+35%) ) / 2s + (15.8%) * ( (633+71.41% * (1500+37)) * (1+35%) ) / 1.66s = 1206

Skull of Guldan comes at 1199 dps. Quite a surprise I would think. Comments welcome!
