Twist of Fate v Fortress of the Mind

[Anemic 0]

Since 7.3.5 I have gotten some decent gear and have been using  SimCraft to see what the average difference in the two talents. I simmed them with the Mangaza's Madness belt combined with.  Sephuz and Soul of the High Priest, and with and without 4pc t21 (because some of the gear that breaks tier is 15+ ilvl better).  So far with my 4pc, sephuz, and FotM it simmed *55k higher than Twist of Fate and any combination. I assume the sim procs Sephuz every 30 sec, which is kind of unrealistic, but I was shocked the dps was so much lower using ToF and FotM. 

 

Any thoughts on the two talents? Does anyone use FotM?  I have started using it and generally average 1.5m dps without BL and north of 2m with. 

 

Here is my armory link, not sure why it shows my haste much lower than it is in game. In game w/o buffs its 43% ~15,500 or so

*(edit: originally put 500 it wasnt 500k, checked my Sim logs and I was mistaken with my lock sim.  Priest sim was 55k better, sort of negligible but worth debating the talents maybe)

So, I thought I'd check WLogs rankings before looking into this and I can only find 1 top parse using FotM - it's the #8 parse on Immonar. He runs the T21 4-piece, he runs Mangaza + Sephuz and there's nothing majorly out of the ordinary in his gear. It's the only evidence I can find of someone using it.

The first Garothi parse that uses it sits at #77 and doesn't run Sephuz (uses High Priest instead), but nothing else is out of the ordinary.

In the second case, it makes sense that he uses FotM due to running the High Priest ring, but the first case on Immonar just doesn't make sense. There's no real "reason" for him to be using it, since everything he is using is exactly the same. 

As far as I know, FotM "patchwerk sims" higher than ToF, but severely underperforms in comparison in real-fights. What type of sim did you run for the comparison?
