but this clears it up.

In the next raid I join I will be trying out this build http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=jfVMqI0IcboxzAoZfM0uxco it's simpler than the 51/13/7 spec in its rotation, and is far less dependent on bosses not moving and you don't have to achieve that perfect rotation that the 51/13/7 spec requires but will probably never get due to latency/misses/dodges

Trying a Tri-Spec DW build atm, and the singletarget dps is pretty good imo. ofc the AoE is imba aswell due to howling blast, but if it's raid viable remains to be seen as I don't have enough hit rating.

After some experience and testing with my last PVP build. I've decided to go for this:
UBER Spec to Kill all horde untill they die
I've basicly ditched Lichborne, toughness and rage of rivendare for Runetap and Mark of Blood. Mark of Blood seems pretty sick and I've also got some nice dmg talents along the way on the blood three

I've tried out some (like 15 of them) DW specs now and this is the one i found the best: Frost DW. Only thing missing from this spec is the aggro reduction from Blood tree, but with the current threat generation of our tanks, i havent found it to be a problem.
Fast weapons on both hands works very nicely with this spec, since its all about KM procs. Equipping a slow MH will raise your FS damage but lower your proc amount of KM, so its up to your personal preference. I'm going with 2x fast weapons, Hailstorm and Hatestrike. I also tried Trispec posted above but found it low dps compared to the spec i'm using now.
Now i'm just waiting for a new MH, Silent Crusader or Torment of the Banished from Naxx, to see what a really good slow main hand weapon can do with this spec.

Frost strike gains alot from Cinderglacier and Black Ice, it also gains crits from Killing machine procs, which are plenty with double fast weapons. So its alot better rune dump than Death coil.
I tried some instances with Denatus today with slow MH, and it seems that when ebon plague is up, slow MH is alot better, since you get some extra damage to blood strike and frost strike from third disease and ebon plagues 13% spell damage increase. I got up to aproximately 3000 dps from 2 full heroic runs, some bosses bursted to 4400 dps.
Going to try with slow MH tomorrow in the raid and see how that goes. Got Titansteel Bonecrusher crafted for this testing. Hoping to get Silent Crusader from the run though. ![]()

Ebon plaguebringer should only function as a third disease for unholy specs, and even on top of that multiple unholy specs in the same raid get shafted due to only one of those DKs being able to get any use from that ebon plaguebringer as an extra disease, so you should in reality only gain a 13% extra spelldmg done due to you being in the same raid as an unholy death knight.

What i read from EJ, Ebon plaguebringer works as third disease for every DK in the raid, and for that reason you should only bring one Unholy DK per raid. I'll check my sources and post them here when i find them again.

So testing yesterday in Naxx proved pretty much succesfull. Second in overall damage, pretty much in top 5 at boss fights. Frost DW seems to scale insanely well with raid buffs and the aoe is awesome with KM proccing and HB critting everything around you. I loved it! ![]()

And i bet you are very happy about it, looking at your unholy dps... ![]()
But! There's a buff coming aswell, Howling blast CD (6 seconds) will be removed, so overall i think it will be just allright. ![]()

At the moment i'm using Unholy DW spec, and it seems to be the strongest around: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=jZG0ex0x … hxckxcq0co
Virulence and Epidemic is again personal preference, but i'm using Epidemic. Though, with Desecration, you'll be spamming Plague Strike alot so Epidemic is not so much needed and +2% more hit with spells is always nice. I can push up to 3300 dps on heroic doll with this spec, up to 4000 dps on single target non-moving boss with some group buffs. Still need to try this in raid enviroment, but looks like this will be my spec untill the patch atleast. After that i need to do more testing with new Howling Blast and Killing machine. 2x fast weapons is preferred for this specs, since your main skills wont require slow weapon speed.
