I did not see movement enchants/gems listed in OP. In wrath, are stats scaled to such a level that these are obsolete, or have they merely been ignored to favor 'stand and deliver' stats comparisions?

UW > IDS. But for us, it's more of a group comp solution rather than a min/max based on warrior mechanics. We have our survival hunter use his owl on important boss AP redux encounters.

It will be fully replaceable. Blizzard will not let a sole trinket govern an entire class/spec, especially if said trinket is from old content. Additionally, 87AP at 80 will be rather inconsequential.
