    I just ran some testing on the proc rate, doing just auto attacks:

    1018 hits out of 1057 swings
    21 procs of Romulo's Poison
    Total proc damage: 5950
    Average proc damage: 283
    Proc rate per hit: 2.06%
    Proc rate per swing: 1.99%
    Proc % of overall damage: 2.28%

    I'm guessing it only procs on hits, either way the proc rate is about 2%. For a combat dagger rogue with slice'n'dice up all the time, that's anywhere from about 1.75 to 2 procs per minute, depending on offhand weapon speed. Or 7.9 to 9.4 dps. That's not including special attacks, so we'll be generous and call it 10 - 12ish dps. Not really a fantastic dps boost by any measure. Thank God Blizz added that hit rating.

      possibly one of the best rogue/hunter trinkets in game, not saying that IT IS, but its definetly right up there.

        Oh, and by the way, to end some debates, if you are using this for the proc, then you are using this trinket for the wrong reason.... its the +hit on this thing that makes it good, the proc is just a small bonus, thats all.

        Don't overestimate this trinket. According to my rogue spreadsheet (from raidcal), the Hourglass of the Unraveller does more damage.

        It might depend on your gear & spec ofcourse.
