Original Post:

Question here, noted from numerous tests in 5/10 mans and dummys:

What is the reason behind using OB instead of HB in rotations on single targets? I understand HB on AoE pulls is superior because spreading IT -> HB is 5k+ damage on all targets (with my gear level, which is pitiful ATM). But I've noticed on single targets, where I IT -> PS, then go into a dps rotation (HB with BSs for death runes) I actually do more DPS than with IT -> PS -> OB. For simplification sake, I'm omitting BSs from my rotation, those are standard placement.

Is the reason for using OB instead of HB just based on the KM procs being spent better on FS? Or is it because my weapon damage (Runeblade of Demonstrable Power - Knights Revered Weapon) is low enough that the weapon damage portion from OB is very low?

The spec I'm using includes all the necessary DPS talents in my view, which includes Black Ice for more frost damage, Glacier Rot, etc.

Any help for a new Death Knight would be greatly appreciated.
