Title. Words.
Yes. It’s worth considering a lower ilvl piece with Treacherous Covenant because the intellect gain from it is probably more than what you’d get from the ilvl increase on the other piece (although obviously take into consideration the other traits on the higher piece).
For example, my 390 helm has 655 int whereas a 400 helm has 718 int. But TC gives 315 int, so the overall gain is the equivalent of a permanent flask.

What about bonded souls?
As resto I am aiming to have two treacherous covenant and one bond soul
Bonded Souls sims poorly because it doesn’t factor in the damage/healing gained by the other person. If everyone in your raid was using it, it would probably be a big gain for raid-wide damage/healing.
Unless you see a Igneous Potential trait Treacherous Covenant should always be chosen over anything else. Not only is it second in Pure DPS for single target. It is also neck in neck to the best trait for AOE.
It is an easy choice it’s versatile and good for any situation albeit a little scary when you fall below the health threshold.
