Hi there, my first post :>

I have this DK since WoTLK, and I played a LOT with him during that time as a tank, but never raiding, basically, only heroics. When CATA came, i rerolled frost and became a DPS, and again, 5-mans.

The thing is, this week I decided to go Blood again, and I'm currently gearing up (this time aiming for something more than just hcs). But my iLvl is still low (343), since i started 2 days ago.

My question is which build would be perfect for me to start tanking to gear up in 5mans?
I'm using this one at the moment.

Should I remove Sanguine Fortitude to get Crimson Scourge or Blood-Caked Blade?

Well I can confirm at least that hunter/warlock pets also gain bloodlust, so maybe it's an exception to the buff/stat translation change in 4.0.

You could also put Fallen Crusader on your weapon instead of Swordshattering for this fight.

Thank you!
Now its working. :-)

I recently had to pick up the Avengers Revered trinket (I had to refogre to hit as my new gear set up overall would have put me at 15.44%, now I'm at 16.96% instead)

I was wondering, Is Necromantic Focus > Moonwell Chalice? Upon getting my hit back to cap without the trinket, which 2/3 are the best combo? My biggest question about Focus, I basically have to give up the mastery for my first meta, or miss my Power Torrent + Lightweave Embroidery, so which way gives better dps? (assuming that is the trinket reccommended to go with)

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but I am unable to use the drop-down menu to change necklaces. I can still type the names in manually, but the drop-down arrow is completely unresponsive.

I currently have a Goblin DK (Mófó, Twilights Hammer) using Frost DW. The reason i went for this is because your guide;

Frost DPS | Cataclysm, Larger Than Life

It clearly states that DW is approx 10% more DPS that a 2H spec yet the top Frost DK Czarplex (i'm assuming) in your guild uses a 2H weapon. My fragile little mind has trouble understanding this, could you please shed some light on which spec is best? Maybe i've missed a revised guide, if i have i apologise. I've always found your site a great source of information for end game specs but i keep passing up 2H weapons claiming they are below par. I can see the merits for having the infinitely quicker DW spec and having tried both specs the DW certainly 'feels' like it kicks more ass.

This is my first post as well.
The guide that you linked is a bit outdated. The difference is less than 10to get % this patch. 2h is viable, however not optimal. Dual is the superior spec as of 4.2.
You may find people that still prefer 2hand because they may like sharing a weapon between frost spec and unholy or feel its much easier to get one 2h weapon than it is to get two one handed weapons.

Please read the first post before you post about problems. There is a known issue section there which details the problem you describe and how to fix it.

Just wondering but is there an updated EP for Unheeded warning? Since the trinket now procs 1900 something AP I didn't know if the EP would go up or down from what it was at and Shadowcraft hasn't been updated to reflect the change yet. Only reason i ask is because I have yet to get a better second trinket than Tia's Grace(prestor's never dropped for my guild lol) Just wondering since I've had unheeded warning sitting in my bank for quite some time now

Actually the 108% comes from CoE, see Dragonwrath and YOU - Forums - World of Warcraft specifically Living Bomb on dummies was doing 100%, it's not certain but fits much better than a random multiplier on dots for warlocks.

EDIT: which also fits with halfus' debuff stacking, so any target debuffs that increase damage done.

I was just wandering what is the best Spec/Gem/Reforge for a Prot paladin? I have been trying to figure out the best Gem/Reforge combo and i see now a butt load of paladins going for the 40 Mastery Gem opting away from the 20 parry or dodge/30 mast one...Also what is the recommended Mastery/Block/Parry/Dodge numbers?

Thanks for any help given!

So i been reading alot on this forum but i have 1 thing to ask for you fury warriors out there, at what point does haste take over from hit, and how much hit do you guys run with. Im asking this seems i allways look for ways to improve my warrior. So if you got any feedback please write it here. Im looking for basic stuff like breakpoints if you can call it that, like what points break and another takes over.
