Hello all. First time posting here, hope I can help out with this, if in any way possible.

I play an enh shaman, and I put the Deathfrost on my offhand, went to Blasted Lands and started going at it on servants. All I was able to use was my combat log with timestamps (forgive me, few mods as possible.) My main goal was to see how many PPM i could get, first I tried with a combo of shocks, reflective buffs/shields, and melee attacks. 5 procs was my best, so i came back and tried a test using only melee attacks. During the last minute of the test, which lasted about 5 or 6 minutes, I recorded 7 procs of Deathfrost. The time between the first and last procs was 32 seconds.

Now, I'm a little confused by this, although I haven't read anywhere of a definitive PPM, the rumor mill was suggesting 3 PPM. The proc previous to that string was 45 seconds ahead of it, and if I count all procs 1 minute from that one, I get 4 which is a little closer.

I have yet to test it with a dual wielding DF setup, but it would be nice to see the PPMs increase wouldn't it? I hope this has been helpful info.
