Q u o t e: Advant ages of Blood: - Damn near unkillable. - Soloing 5-man elites with ease - Sheer amount of self-healing. Basic rotation restores 30-45% of max HP per 20 seconds, plus Blood Presence, Rune Tap, Blood Worms, Mark of Blood, Vampiric Blood, and Vendetta added in. - Damn near unkillable. - Heart Strike's cleave makes adds a joke - Hysteria + DRW combine to make the most powerful dps cooldown of the three specs, great for...

You lose an FS. You also lose an entire global over the course of a fight. Ever wiped on a potential first kill by 1,000 health? Pray tell what the average damage of Frost Strike is. That lost global also adds up. What if you get another one? You're now two globals behind what you should be. That's a potential loss of two Obliterate by fights end. Fight length is finite. You'd only lose 1 FS per dodge if it the fight was lasted...

Q u o t e: How come noone pointed out the obvious? The reason all these Frost DK's are dual weilding now is because Frost 2Handed is broken and is pretty much a waste of time...so everyone started going to dual wield. BTW I believe it was stated in EJ and a couple of other forums that you want slow one handers, not fast. Either way, I tried it, hated it, went back to Blood DPS. frost 2h tanking is still viable, and can save you 6 points...

Q u o t e: Hey there, I'm leveling this toon to 80 to do pvp - mainly arena and what im wondering is should i keep the battered hilt that i got today on my main and get the wep on this guy or sell it for a tidy sum. and get a pvp wep? I think its adorable that people like this get 251 weaps and I'm still using a crap 232. Random loot blows.

Q u o t e: Yes exactly, blood requires a 2 phase rotation, after 1st phase mobs are already down, or your group sux. Except that Death runes carry between fights, and HS does some pretty jawdropping dps even without diseases up. I play both in heroics, Unholy has an advantage on packs of 5+, but under that, Blood holds it's own just fine. Beyond that, if the mobs are squishy enough that you can't get your diseases up and spread...

Here is what I would do: Go Holy with a mix of Demonology so you can keep your Felguard alive and do a decent amount of damage at the same time. Hope this helped.

All GC will read is "Give it a cooldown", then he'll say, "Great idea!" Delete your post.

Q u o t e: diseas e? replaced entirely by HB. i included the disease glyph because there are those of us that use it for a 2 disease priority set up for better single target dps/threat. there are also those of us that primarily solo heroics or pug randoms and don't want to have to completely rely on a healer and in those situations knowing that even if a taget dies any target around you will allow a self heal for 10-15% without having to...

Leveling as a DK is pretty easy, regardless of spec. I personal opinion is that Unholy is the easiest, due to the pet(s). Other people differ and say that Blood is, due to survivability. As far as tanking goes, Blood and Frost are the primary two. Unholy took a lot of hits after DKs were released, and is currently subpar in comparison. Blood is great for raid boss tanking Frost is great for Heroic grinding and AoE tanking.

Honestly Blood should have been the DW tree and gotten ToT because I see all the scrub fresh 80 DKs 71 point blood dual wielding, and Frost 2 hand was just beyond awesome.
