So I’ve been searching around and I can’t find any solid numbers for this trinket. Does anyone know just how good it is for MM, whether it’s worth using over Fluid Death, or perhaps can lead me to a site that does? I checked warcrafthuntersunion.com as well I’ve tested it on zeherah’s analyzer and I’m not convinced. Any input would be very much appreciated!

I hesitate any time I am presented with an “on-use” option for trinkets. Generally speaking I don't like them, but in the case of the Seed I will likely have to wait until I can run more numbers. If I got it I'd probably use it, but I'll defer to WHU and likely not seek it out, sepcifically.
Re-reading that, it's not very helpful is it? LOL Sorry!

There's a good trinket analysis at WHU: http://www.warcrafthuntersunio…..t-rundown/
I have yet to see static proc rates from the new firelands trinkets, and am hearing that the Darkmoon Cards got nerfed?

From what I understand (which isn't much, so bear with me) the nerf is that “[Darkmoon Card: Hurricane] can no longer deal critical strikes and no longer receives any modifiers to its damage from the equipping player.”
So it no longer scales with gear except with Haste; maybe more of a blow to Shaman users than Hunters? I guess it wouldn’t benefit from out Crit% or Mastery, which is bad, but I would have to test it to see if it's a dps loss.
I will say, I suddenly fear I've accidentally tossed out Fluid Death lol.

I have FD & The Hungerer. Based on WHU's analysis, Seed still isn't better than FD, largely due to it's on-use abilty rather than being an on-equip trinket. That said, now that I can buy Seed I am going to do some testing on the dummies. I suspect I'll find that my current pairing is still the best matchup prior to Matrix Restabilizer.

I had this same dilemma as I managed to hit revered for the seed AND win the hungerer in the same night… was like Zomg what do i do!?!? LOL But after testing on the dummies and then in practical use running a BWD 25 switching them up halfway thru, I found the the FD and Hungerer are a better combo, and I will continue to use FD til Rags gives up that shiny one he's got!

One thing occurred to me as I'm reading this thread and thinking scenarios. Wouldn't Ancient Petrified Seed be most useful for a Survival hunter, where extra agility is always a plus and mastery actually provides a decent damage increase? Of course, I have no numbers to back this up. It's just pure speculation.

I'm actually using Essence of the Cyclone/The Hungerer right now.
Just playing with the calculators over at http://www.femaledwarf.com, it looks like swapping in the Seed, or even Fluid Death, will result in a DPS loss.
I still want to do some testing on the dummies.

Color me curious, but shouldn't using Fluid Death be better than Essence of the Cyclone? Since I already have Matrix Restabilizer, would Essence of the Cyclone actually be better when I run Survival?
