[rocketmn333]

Armory: The World of Warcraft Armory

Updated spec(hasnt updated in armory): The World of Warcraft Armory
Added glyphs as well: Glyph of Raise Dead, Glyph of horn of the winter, glyph of rune strike, glyph of death and decay, and glyph of blood tap

Rotation: IT, Pestilence, HB, and DnD if need, and i throw in PS and FS here and there
What am i doing wrong? I seem to die so fast and easily, i mean, i am def capped, with sigil active, or if i switch out my gloves, but idk what to do
Any help? i just hit 80 and i am trying to get geared for my guild, so i can tank for them, but so far every time i tank, my health just drops so fast my healer cant keep up

Thanks,
Rocket

There's a few things.

You're missing out on a lot of enchants, and that's adversely affecting your health. Your avoidance is a little low, but not unexpected for your gear level. Gem your gloves, enchant your legs, boots, bracers, and gloves. Work on your Hodir rep and get your shoulders enchanted, and your argent crusade rep for your helm enchant. You're missing out on a ton of health and some avoidance there.

If you're just stepping into 10 and 25 mans with that gear, yeah, you're going to get one-shot. Don't bite off more than you can chew, work on that rep in 5-mans and get some gear out of it, then work your way up.

Your rotation is not optimal. "IT, Pestilence, HB" is not great for a frost DK. Instead glyph for howling blast so it adds frost fever and it will open up more runes for other things. For AOE trash, I tend to mark something with skull, drop DnD, pull with HB, hit BB when they get in range and procedd to rune/frost strike Skull until runes come back online. DnD, HB, and BB will hold threat against almost all kinds of AOE funsies from your dps, and the frost/rune strikes will add a lil threat to whatever you deem to be worthy of a skull.

really no reason to use pestilence in a frost build that i can think of, especially to just apply FF when HB can do that for us.

Happy tanking!
