I got nevermelting ice crystal on my fourth run in PoS and frankly after comparing specs I swapped out my previous trinket, which had been an emblem purchase. Despite it having a lower gear score and putting me 40 points further away from that magic 5K mark - the simple truth is it's an awesome trinket and it's specs are really good.

It's really one of the best ilevel 232 items in the game decent spellpower bonus on-equip and massive diminishing-returns crit bonus on use.

I contemplated the GS hit for a bit, I know it's not all that matters but a lot of people think it is (despite the fact that GS gives no consideration to class mechanics) so being 4950 is worse in their eyes than the 4970 I had before... but my guildies are smarter than that - and when I go into a raid, I want to rip out every single ounce of damage I can - it's what I'm there for - they know that I know my class, know my spec, know my rotation and my DoT renews - and that if I take a gearscore hit, it's with good reason.
So what if it means I miss out on a PuG here and there ?
