Actually, for an arcane mage, ToR is one of the better trinkets outside of ToC and ICC. It has as much spell power over time as the frost trinket, and it also gives crit from the intellect. I'll admit, the scale of fates is probably a better trinket, but you need two, and if you aren't a raiding mage, it is difficult to get high-end upgrades for your trinkets. And lets face it. No one wants to do 25-man Ulduar or 25-man OS anymore.

And, to do the math, ToR gives 128 Intellect, which gives arcane mages ~19 spell power. The proc from the trinket, if used as much as possible, will give off a spell power bonus of 100 spell power. Now, combined, that translates to 119 spell power, if it was just an equip bonus. Add in the crit from ToR(from the intellect), and you get a pretty good trinket.
