You also want to use one wrath/starfire/starsurge before refreshing your dots after an eclipse starts or they likely won't get the eclipse modifier.

I'd also add that you should spend some effort into Tol Barad dailies. Until you can afford DMC: Volcano or get raid drops, the Stump of Time is one of the best trinkets you can get.

Spec out of...

I did read it and what I said elsewhere still applies here.

You're forgetting Improved Frost Presence. The lower GCD helps your initial burst, but if things last for more than a couple seconds, FP will be better.
...

At your level of gear, I don't know how you're GCD capping and I'm close, but not capped (even less so lately because I need Chillblains in my spec for H LK). As long as you keep a GCD free, Rime is...

I don't think the refresh rate outweighs the 15% damage bonus (also, you lose the damage bonus on your diseases).

Single target: Use Death Runes for Obliterate.
AoE: Use Death Runes for Howling Blast.

It's really that simple.

You only need 177 expertise (23) for Wrath content.

Also, the above guide is geared toward 2 handers. DW need less hit (strange but true), weighing in at 146 IIRC because of NoCS. DW also ST DPS...

I checked and WoL doesn't show Obliterate damage correctly. I had 32k Oblit crits last night and WoL only shows about 20k.

Obliterate is not strictly modified by weapon damage. It is normalized....

The combat log shows Obliterates when DWing as two separate entries. You're now using a 2H weapon so this doesn't happen as you don't use ToT.

You've shown one log and that one had you hitting a...

1. You're in mostly tank gear. You need DPS gear.

2. Your major glyphs are all empty. It's likely that your prime are too. You need the right glyphs.

3. You need a spec that matches your...

A couple things. First, I'm pretty sure WoL doesn't properly show ToT (making Obliterate look much weaker than it is). Second, Rime means that Obliterate gives you the damage of Obliterate + 45% of...

You're skewing your HB numbers by using dummies. If you look at what the HBs hit, you'll see that you're hitting a second dummy. Your DPS could very well be higher than Oblit, but it's misleading...

Frost AoE is broken right now (in a good way, so expect a nerf). Single target is about the same as it was before the patch, maybe a little better or a little worse depending on your procs.
...

No. AP coefficients get reset when refreshing the diseases.

Some feedback on your current gear + spec:
1. Until you have 4pc T9 or 2pc T10, stay away from both sub frost and reaping blood Unholy.
2. Ghoul Frenzy is a waste. Desecration is a waste. Put...

Ok, from looking at your armory:
1. You're over Melee hit cap ater one of your hit trinkets. Nearly any other trinket for the other slot will give you a huge boost (Banner of Victory, Mirror of...

PS as many times as you can? I think you stop relying on a mod and learn how DKs work.

It's a modified Blood tank build. I don't understand maxing out Sudden Doom (poor threat talent) but ignoring Subversion and Blood Gorged. Also, Blood Worms are fairly useless.

Don't entertain...

Your ArP is extremely low for Blood. You might be better served by Unholy. Also, the 264 Sigil is trash for blood.

You should probably also use the subfrost UH spec. At your level of gear, reaping blood or subfrost are your best bets (and generally the former requires at least 4pT10).

Here's the thing though. Everyone gems for stamina. That's not particular to the Blood build. What makes it stand out in terms of being recognized for large health pools is the extra 3% stam...

Maybe it's just me being stubborn, but I don't understand saying that Blood is all about massive health pools and then write off a talent that adds a massive amount of effective health as optional. ...

You should re-read the tooltip. When not in Blood Presence, Imp. Blood Presence only gives you heal on damage caused.

Also, the threat coefficient on Frost Fever hasn't changed. Only the Icy Touch threat coefficient has (the initial damage). There has not been a threat change to Pestilence.
