This item generates electrical charges. What is different about it is that the more spells you critically hit with, the more damage the trinket's effect will do, dealing more than 10k damage at it's full capacity.

The Lightning Capacitor has gone through several iterations by now; and if the previous version is any indication, this will likely be a BiS trinket for casters.
Spell DPS will also have Rune of Zeth and Necromantic Focus to choose from, should they pick this trinket.

For anybody interested, here is the history of this trinket style (WotLK broke the naming scheme):

v1: The Lightning Capacitor
v2: Thunder Capacitor
v3: Reign of the Dead/Reign of the Dead (Horde) -=- Reign of the Unliving/Reign of the Unliving (Alliance)
v4: Variable Pulse Lightning Capacitor/Variable Pulse Lightning Capacitor

Ok got the normal version of this on my elemental shaman yesterday, and it seams awesome, prolly mostly couse we elementals really love ekstra lightningbolts.

after some testing here is a list of disclaimers and claimers:

Claimers:

Procs of dots such as fire shock.
As the lava burst is a crit you are sure to get alot of procs of this specielly with the tier 12 four-set
Elemental fury increse the crit damage by 100%
Elemental precision increse the bolts with 3 %
Elemental Mastery increse the bolts with 20%

Disclaimers:

The lightningbolts from the trinket are not affected by shaman mastery so no double bolts from trinket atlest.

Yet unknown:
if the proc is affected with Shamanism
if the proc scales with Concussion 6% damege on lightning bolt
If the proc gives Clearcasting (10% damege) when crit
if the proc scales of Clearcasting (10%damage)
if the proc consumes Clearcasting (10%damege)
if the proc gives Rolling thunder
if the proc affekts feed back

This item appears to be designed to be good for any caster since it's "Your Primary stat plus a pew pew at random". Sure some classes like Arcane mages get more from their primary stat but it's still the primary stat in every class and spec.

It's like DC:Volcano but even more universal since that one did the same but with mastery as a bonus (intellect existed but as a proc). Since some classes did not benefit from mastery as much (or a random proc of intellect was not very beneficial (see arcane)) it was less universal.

I have the normal version of this, which hits for about 12 k with only 3 charges. (not crit)
This baby has 3 times the damage of the normal version... think of a 10 charge crit... :O
