Should we be comparing it only to pre-raid Trinkets? Otherwise, it's really not that hot.
It gives haste, which is kinda low priority for a fire mage, and approximately 340 sp, which is low, even for WoTLK content.

Wrong wrong wrong, it is an absolutely terrible trinket if you are at the haste soft cap (546 or so if I recall), which any raid ready mage should be. To top it off, the only dot it gets stacks from is living bomb. For a single target boss fight (even in heroics) it will take five FULL living bomb durations to get the full effect.
Hourglass is much better considering the trade off:
235 hate and 340sp, which takes a full minute to get stacked up, vs 235 int and a haste proc.
I'd also like to point out that any "raid ready" (hit capped to 17%) mage should be using
Anhuur's Hymnal
to be hit capped anyway because reforging/gemming straight hit will gimp you for all your other stats.
It's not a super bad choice if you really have no alternative, but there are plenty of other options out there that will boost your dps much more than gales of badows.

Eh, saying the haste cap is 12% isn't entirely accurate.
516 haste is goal if you have netherwind presence. Unfortunately actual haste percentage that shows on your character page does not include talents or racials that increase your haste,

NW + Raid buff. Else you'd need around 1181 without the raid buff

As I said, it stacks up slowly because the ONLY thing is procs a stack off of is a living bomb tick and that's it.
No Ignite, no pyroblast dot, no combustion, no FFB dot, not even the LB explosion, only LB ticks.

doesn't
do what it says.
