I just ran Mythic King's Rest (not a big pull dungeon). iLVL 265, Trinket lvl 285.

In most fights, it did anywhere between 0~3% of the damage.

The 0% was from the last boss, 28k dmg (out of 7,126k)
The 3% was from a small trash pack, 68k dmg (out of 2,230k)

In other boss fights or trash fights, it did 30k~80k, for about 0~2% of my dmg output.

Proc seems to be very random, and dmg isn't even that high.

Replace as soon as possible.

Coming here to confirm what was already stated, but I'll add on some extra notes on how it works.

- This trinket is an all-class, all-spec trinket in theory, providing you with your main stat regardless of spec
- This trinket can only proc on direct damaging attacks. Damage over time components of spells and abilities can not proc this (example; the direct damage of applying moonfire can proc it, but not the damage over time)
- Because this trinket deals physical damage, expect it to deal roughly 25% less damage to most targets, as almost everything in the game has an armour rating
- This trinket deals *less* damage if you use it on Tank and Healing roles, roughly 33% less damage
- Scales on versatility and critical strike chance
- Procs 2~3 times a minute with large variance. It can proc zero times in three minutes, or five times in one minute.
- I don't have a means of testing the execute damage on this but quite frankly, it could deal 5x execute damage and still struggle for a niche

So yeah! This thing kind of blows chunks.

If you are a Healer, you will get more mileage out of *any* trinket that procs random stats as far as damage output goes, quadruple so on healers who might tag enemies occasionally with a dot for passive damage (which can help with proccing stat buff trinkets). If you are a tank, the damage on this is so low with far too few procs that it just doesn't work. If you are a DPS, you can do better.

But! You can always do worse too! So long as trinkets with no primary stats that *also* have bad procs exist, this will technically be an okay stat-stick. But this is competing for last place, so even a Darkmoon Faire trinket and the Crucible of Erratic Energies (which has an updated Season 2 drop you can collect) which are both fairly easy pick-ups will do you better for Season 2 in a pinch.

tl;dr
2/10 trinket. It's technically not the worst! It just procs too infrequently, only on direct damage hits, and does far far too little damage
