If the proc on this trinket scales with AP as reported and truly does such a large portion of a warrior's damage I can see it challenging the other available trinkets, at least situationally.

I have the 397 version. Its damage is what's listed on wowhead(9063-13594) + 67.5%*AP. It is reduced by armor, which is bypassed with CS up, and benefits from physical damage mods both on your character and on target, e.g. DW/Enrage/Blood Frenzy all modify it. It's able to crit, which I assume is a chance equal to your melee crit chance, but I don't have nearly enough data to be sure, and it deals double damage on crit(probably 206% damage with a 3% crit dmg meta, like Fiery Attack procs, but again not enough data to say for sure). Crits do not proc DW, but they do proc flurry.
One oddity is that the ICD appears to be 27s rather than an even 25. After trying about 30 times to force a proc in under 27s(by simultaneously cleaving/WW multiple dummies to give it a high chance to proc if it were outside the ICD), I never saw lower than 27. If I had to speculate, I would guess the ICD changes between the various ilvl versions and the heroic version might have a normal 25s ICD. According to wowhead's data, the chance to proc outside the ICD is 15%, which is probably trustworthy.
In any case, from some napkin math, I would currently place the 397 version's proc's SEP value at roughly 395 in pure single target situations, which makes it a clear step up from H-VoA, and just a bit behind 403 Eye of Unmaking/397 Creche. If there's even a small amount of AoE on a fight, it is absurdly better than any other trinket option.
