This doesn't make nearly as big a difference on the Alliance side where the Paladins can throw Salvation, but horde side this makes a massive difference in how much damage you can throw out.
With Subtlety AND Salvation, a Mage who swaps out to AM on occassion literally CAN'T pull aggro. You're talking about a 70% reduction in threat. My AE may be throwing out crit hits for 500+ but carries only slightly more threat than a Hunter's Volley.

I've done some limited testing on this with a friendly mage and right now it looks like they do NOT stack.
