Rule 1: Start sentences with capital letters and always capitalize the first person pronoun "I." Don't use ellipses instead of proper punctuation.

Rule 6: The post you're responding to is already providing the answer to a question. Using a sarcastic rhetorical question isn't the most clear way to answer someone, true. Still, it's obviously not an actual request for information. Even if it were, your response is bad. You're making suggestions based on your personal feelings, rather than than citing evidence from in-game or modeling sources. That's not what we do here.

As far as Blood Boil, DnD, and your diseases (i.e., all of your AoE capabilities) are concerned:

1. Necrosis affects 0/3, as it only adds to your melée auto-attacks.
2. Dark Conviction affects 2/3, as both Blood Boil and DnD may crit.

Which do you think you should take for an AoE spec?

answer: dirge... which, given GCD constraints and runic regeneration without it, is one of the most useless talents you can buy, at least in my personal experience. i never have a gap in my strike mashing on single target when i don't have enough RP for a DC (except for maybe like 2 seconds out of every 30 or so) - unless you're finding yourself actively and consistently RP starved, the only thing Dirge does in my experience is make people think they need to RP dump more than they really need to, and sacrifice Strike time to do it.
though obviously that's going to be based on your personal style - i assume *some* people most find the spare RP very useful, or else Dirge wouldn't keep showing up on builds.
