Moonkin burst/sustained AoE is low (at least compared with SPs/Ele Shaman/Lock). In Ji'Kun HC, my intuition from experience (no maths sorry) is that we are good in the upper nests (3 high-HP adds,...

I don't see why conventional trinkets shold perform relatively better or worse in multitarget scenarios; the only one that should scale in a different fashion into multitarget is the UVLS.

On the other hand, getting additional Starsurge procs reduces time between Eclipses, so you also need to take that into account. At some point proc overlap is also a relevant issue, as mentioned by...
