Quicker in Terminal
I'm not at my Mac to test this, and I'm certainly no UNIX guru, but I would think the following would give you what you want more quickly: ln -s ~/.Trash ~/Desktop/Trash
It's a symlink and not an alias, but that may be better or worse, I suppose. Personally, I'm with Rob- I use Command-Delete to trash things and Command-E to eject. My Dock is hidden and almost never used, especially not for these two operations.

It's because the icon goes in the resource fork, which BSD aliases don't have.
To get a Mac alias from the command line, use this method:
You may then glue the Trash icon onto the alias as explained here,
and check that it all goes into the rsrc fork:
In contrast ln -s .Trash Desktop/BSDAlias gives a regular file without rsrc fork:

P.S. This yoga also lets you actually view what's inside the Mac alias resource fork (here, before gluing the icon):
