Original Post:

Hello, I've spent a great deal of time musing over the DK talents. I am under geared and nowhere near raid ready, but I wanted to come here and share this idea so someone with a better character could test it out.

I was unable to find a similar build or references to the possibility of this through searching this and the simple questions thread. If I missed something and this was dismissed already, I apologize.

The build is designed around bringing up BS to respectable damage levels, to a point where it might be beneficial to 4-6x BS in a row with death runes, and then dump the extra RP (from 10 per rune instead of 7.5) into death coils or faster gargs. Even if that threshold is not surpassed, the normal 2x BS per rotation will be amped up.

23/0/48 is what I've come up with, and it provides respectable DPS with my DK in 5 mans. I understand we're talking about raid DPS here and that is why I would like someone with access to take a look.

Glyphs: Blood Strike, SS, Ghoul

Variable points could be the 3/3 in RoR for 3/3 VotTW -- but I think that with typical gearing situations and outside of greatness/FC procs that RoR will provide more DPS. It may also be beneficial to swap 3/3 Scent of Blood for 3/3 Death Rune Mastery, and drop an oblit at the end of diseases if they did not refresh. Or, swap SS glyph for oblit glyph and oblit once at the end of the diseases.

You're mainly trading UB and 2 expertise for +30% +20% BS damage, +60% on 3 disease portion of BS, 1% desecration damage, and an extra 1.5-2 death coils.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. Please contribute with any feedback, and I will be happy to provide additional info or answer questions about my thinking.
