I was thinking about some possibilities:

NOT the first option, the second and third options are both very strong. My personal preference is using trinkets with a "Use" to get the most out of an Eclipse, although I do not have
Scale of Fates I have
Living FlameAs a side note, even though you cannot stack it with a Use Trinket buff
Hyperspeed Accelerators on your gloves is a
very good enchant. I believe the best possible for a moonkin, although the profession choice itself does involve some sacrifice (see below).
340 Haste with a 16.6% uptime (10 secs out of every minute) = 56.6 Haste
Alternative = 28 spellpower
However - the moonkin rotation being what it is you can of course use the gloves haste during an eclipse proc to get more DPS benefit than you would from a static 56 haste.
I haven't yet experienced how it would play to have both a trinket and the gloves. With just the gloves you can use them roughly every other Eclipse. With just the trinket you can use it roughly every 4th Eclipse. So I guess one benefit of having both trinket and gloves is that for the first 3 Eclipses of a fight you can have a dmg/haste buff during your Lunar Eclipses.
1st Eclipse - Haste gloves
2nd Eclipse - Spell Power trinket
3rd Eclipse - Haste gloves
4th Eclipse -
nothing5th Eclipse - Haste gloves
6th Eclipse - Spell Power trinket
7th Eclipse - Haste gloves
8th Eclipse -
nothingI think after 3.2 when you can run Lunar and Solar Eclipses back-to-back it will remain just as strong. Presumably it will best to burn the Haste on a Lunar eclipse and a Spell Power Use on a Solar Eclipse.
The only drawback to using the Engineering gloves is that you might be replacing a profession with a strong static Spell Power increase, like JCing or BSing. None of the spreadsheets available can model a "use" effect being used on Eclipse procs so it is not clear which is the winner, although it is certainly very close. There is of course no drawback from picking up a "use" trinket as the Ulduar ones are fantastic trinkets anyways.
