I've had my trinket bound into a macro that casts Vampiric Touch for as long as I can remember. It grants a much
MUCH
larger effect if you use it with the initial application of dots, rather than just Mind Blast and Shadow Word: Death and whatever may come after those. It's also highly recommended to add it to a macro that also uses your most often-cast spell (Vampiric Touch), because if it's not bound to a key you'll use often, it's easy to forget to actually use it, and it can quickly lose its damage potential to a simple human mistake.
Just make this macro and place it wherever your VT key is now (The 13 in this macro will use your top trinket slot, change to 14 to use your bottom trinket slot).
#showtooltip Vampiric Touch
#show Vampiric Touch
/use 13
/cast Vampiric Touch

Here's another little trick... As soon as the tank engages the target cast SW:Pain (Rank 1). This will immedietly stack Misery for an additional 5% damage and start stacking Shadow Weaving for 2% more shadow damage.
Then pop your Trinket, Cast VT and your max rank of SW:Pain.
It's best to use a trinket before casting a DoT to get the most benefit from it. VT and SW:Pain will get the biggest overall damage bonus followed by Mind Flay. Mind Blast or SW:Death don't get as much of a benefit so I've found it's not really all that useful to use a trinket before casting either of those spells.
The macro InfinityX posted is very useful and a staple to getting the most DPS out of spell rotations by not forgetting to pop trinkets.

Anyone have an idea as to what this macro would look like?
#showtooltip Vampiric Touch
#show Vampiric Touch
/use 13
/cast Vampiric Touch
It's as simple as that. The #show parts are just to be sure that it gives you the tooltip and cooldown spiral for VT and not your trinket.

BTW - That's a good idea with the Rank 1 SW:P to stack misery - I'm going to have to work that out and see how i like it :).Very useful on Boss fights. Not worth the GCD when fighting trash mobs IMO. Your mileage may vary.
