Yeh, I am a warrior grief without a DST yet.
And I have been farming this every week but not a single drop for this toon.
With more than a month in P3, I can see ppl are having less and less interest in Gruul, nothing is selling but only DST.
Why don’t you make a higher drop rate or extra non-tier item drop in Gruul just like how you increased in Tier 4 tokens so ppl won’t be tortured in P1 contents?

DST is a coveted item that I don’t think was originally intended for every single person to have. Its on the rare drop table for that very reason. My guild has 3 of them and I think we’ve gotten pretty lucky. If you’re having issues even getting into gruul groups, just create your own and reserve DST for yourself. One of my hunter buddies has been doing it every week since P2 started and he finally got his 3 weeks ago.
Edit: Don’t feel like you need DST to pump. You don’t. You can use double badge trinket and pump almost as hard. Don’t forget about tsunami (isn’t as good as DST, but is still really good for warriors) and madness, which is your P3 bis. Any combination of those is only going to parse slightly lower than DST.

That’s assuming he has 30k+ gold to spend on it and win lol. Just healed a Gruul DKP on my Shaman yesterday and it dropped. Very nice payday, lol.
It isn’t just DST. EVERY physical trinket has a terrible drop rate in this game. I’m just thankful I got a tsunami. I no longer need to care about poison vial or dragonspine. I’ll just get the ashtongue trinket for 2nd slot.

every Tuesday double gdkp runs HR at 25k
23 weeks since our last guild run had a DST drop. I know not everyone is doing to get one and you don’t need one to perform well but it’s still frustrating rng. Many guilds have seen more Glaives in a month than we’ve seen DST in the entire expansion.

Some dude on Whitemane dual box a mage and war to ninja a dst today and it was hilarious how he tried to cover his tracks.
The amount of players who think DST is going to make them great is super annoying. You do realize for most classes DST is only about a 15DPS gain over say Abacus of Violent Odds trinket… !!!
Freaking just learn to play the game.
DST is not needed to be able to pump. I just got my DST this Tuesday, after running it since week 2 of launch.
Yes it’s an awesome item, yes it’s BIS, but it doesn’t mean it’s holding you back of performing well. Just hope madness is prio to those who don’t have DST in your guild.
well the thing is that on use trinkets are an annoyance to many people. So dst would be better… however… it is in fact not needed so no one should really care too much about it.

Yep they are an annoyance to special needs players that don’t understand buff stacking. Which is also why so many want DST.
Nope. Drops just as frequently as every other item he drops that isnt tier.
@OP:
I know it sucks but the good news is you’ve got more options now than ever before between Madness and TT, and next phase pretty much everyone will get the trinket off ZA. Still not quite as good, but pretty dang close
I mostly just macro mine in and forget it. Not entirely ideal, but usually nets a better overall outcome than trying to optimize it and missing uses. I just got the Ashtongue trinket to pair with DST now though so I dont have to worry about it all 
Eh, its almost 40 on my Enhance and they tend to benefit less than most phys classes from haste.
I mean, that’s what the data says.
