Historically, wands haven't been that big of an issue. Also, having a slightly less-than great wand won't affect your DPS by that much, whereas the difference between one trinket and another can be well over 1000 dps. There's a reason Christian referenced the http://www.wowhead.com/item=47213/abyssal-rune , because it was ridiculously better than all but a handful of trinkets for all of wrath.

True that in the this tier of raiding, they made thrown weapons as well as wands a real pain in the butt to get. I'm guessing they did that on purpose to make it a bit more interesting.

Anyway, trinkets are to casters what weapons are to melee dps, and blizz has said in the past, they want to make trinkets one of those things that you have to grind and/or get lucky for. My guess is that in the next tier, there will be a wand or two that is relatively easy to get, but trinkets will still be annoying where you pray to the trinket gods that you get your trinket.
