I don't like the Ice Crystal. The Egg is significantly better than the Ice Crystal. It procs regularly and is one of the best trinkets pre ToC 25 and ICC 10/25. I just recently replaced it begrudingly for
an mp5 trinket
. My haste in my gear has allowed me the ability to make the switch. Tears is pointless to have if you have the Talisman. Use the other trinket spot for SP/Haste/MP5 trinket.
Basically you are wasting your time. You will replace it quickly, and the only margin benefit you get from it is crit which is significantly worse than haste for you.

I don't know how other healers feel about this, but I absolutely can't stand chance-on heal haste procs, as much of a haste junkie as I am. Hasteprocs have a habit of proccing at the most useless moments when you have no use for them, and refusing to proc when you absolutely need them. So I picked the Ice Crystal and never looked back.
If I was a DPS it might be different - haste procs are always useful unless they proc just before you have to feel yourself from the boss.

Um, not sure about you, but I don't know of a time when I am not healing and can't use more haste. In 25m ICC and toc 25 there are large portions of raid damage where I am continuously healing. I think only on Saurfang and Gunship battle am I really just standing around waiting to heal someone. In heroics, now the haste will proc, and you will simply sit there waiting for some damage. In raids, if you are standing around waiting to heal than you are poor healer. I can't think of an inopportune time for the haste proc to happen during a raid.

Maybe it is a playstyle thing, or that ICC25 has much more to heal because i've only ever healed the 10 man. But often in the 10 man, there are luls in the healing required and if a haste proc procs in those it doesn't go to a great deal of use. In those situations i'd take something more consistent, like passive haste/SP or SP-on-proc. And in ICC25 i'd certainly be looking to replace the Egg.
