The bonus averages out to (1-(1-0.05)^(15*<SPELLS LANDED PER SEC>))*135 damage.
Obviously you can ignore the Fire component if you aren't using Incinerate. The duration of the buff is 15 seconds and Immolate lasts 15 seconds, so if it procs off Immolate you won't actually use the Fire damage (it'll have run out before the next immolate). If you are using a Demonology build (Felguard or Succubus) and have roughly equal Fire and Shadow damage though, it's a DPS increase to cast Incinerate instead of Shadow Bolt while the Fire damage buff is up.
If you are using the plain Shadow Bolt spam spec you will cast 1 Shadowbolt per 2.5 sec, which means 0.4 spells landed per second (ignoring Bloodlust for ease of calculation), which means the bonus averages out to: 1-(1-0.05)^(15*0.4))*135 = 35.76 Shadow damage. Obviously it gets better with Haste and Bloodlust.
TLDR with pure Shadow Bolt spam the set bonus is around 36 Shadow Damage.
