Original Post:

I wanted to reopen a discussion on the utility of the [Scale of Fates] trinket vs. the [Eye of the Broodmother].
With the increase of proc rates for Lightning Overload, I was starting to ponder on my TBC days and strategies. I would use the [The Skull of Gul'dan] in conjunction with former leatherworking Drums of Battle (80 haste) to give me a result close to that of a heroism. So every 2 minutes I got a heroism like effect which resulted in extra casts and extra chances at Lightning Overloads. This startegy worked quite well in TBC and I was frequently at the top of the meters against pure dps classes.
The question I would like to discuss: Is it more beneficial to do a similar mix with [Scale of Fates] and Hyperspeed Accelerators (340 Haste for 10 sec....increased to 12 sec in 3.2)? I have 553 base haste so in the opening minute I could activate the trinket and gloves, boosting my haste rating to 1325. One minute later I could activate the gloves again with a Potion of Speed (500 haste for 15 sec) totalling 1393 haste. And in the 3rd minute rinse and repeat.
In addition, since our tanks are quite gifted with snap threat, I could even pop a potion of speed just before the pull and activate the gloves & trinket for 1800+ haste (I'd have to do the math but that would probably start clipping LB, and definately LvB). Just some thoughts I've been pondering on and would love feedback from the community.
