I'd also like to just quote this gem here:

Solarian's Sapphire and Blood Frenzy:
This trinket deserve special mention as it's our class specific trinket for TBC and because of it's unique stat. In terms of raid dps gained from a single trinket, this is by far the best trinket a warrior can use. It grants your Battle Shout an additional 70 Attack Power. This is affected by the Commanding Presence talent up to 87.5 Attack Power. 87.5 Attack Power for 5 members of the raid is 437.5 Attack Power. No other trinket comes close to the amount of Attack Power granted by this trinket.

Blood Frenzy should be mentioned here because one of the most frequently asked questions in terms of Warrior dps is whether or not to spec Arms for Blood Frenzy or not. Is the dps loss going from Fury to Arms worth the raid dps increase from the debuff. In short: yes, it is. Blood Frenzy affects all physical damage dealt to the target. This includes Hunters, Hunter pets, Tanks, Rogues, other Warriors, Feral Druids, Bleed effects etc etc. In very simplistic terms:

A raid composed with 8 total sources of Physical damage: 2 tanks, one hunter and 5 melee.

Each tank puts out 300 dps.
The hunter and each melee puts out 1000 dps.
Total physical dps = 6600.
Contribution from Blood Frenzy = 264 dps.

In this case, the one Arms warrior has an effective dps of 1264 instead of 1000. For this scenario, that's over a 25% increase in his own dps. As the physical dps increases, so does the value of Blood Frenzy. Unless the Warrior is very bad at playing as Arms, or he has very poor Arms gear and very good Fury gear, Blood Frenzy is definitely worth it.
