Your new awesome, untested spec

I might suggest testing and *then* posting about it rather than the other way around.

Original Post:

New build on the PTR:
- Necrosis and BCB nerfs removed!
- All emergency spells (VB, UA, BS) now have a 2 min cooldown
- HB damage doubled, as well as its cooldown (now 10 sec)

Well, Deep Frost is dead for me now.
I think I'm going Unholy with a 9/26/36 type spec, key talents being:

Defensive:
- the usual 5/5/5
- Frigid Deathplate in Frost
- Bone Shield in Unholy
- Magic Surpression and AMZ in Unholy

Offensive:
- Improved Icy Talons in Frost
- 4/5 Bladed Armor in Blood
- 1/5 Killing Machine in Frost
- Black Ice in Frost
- Morbitiy in Unholy
- Impurity in Unholy
- Necrosis in Unholy
- Blood Caked Blade in Unholy
- Reaping in Unholy (IT spamming yay!)

Raid buffs:
- 20% Haste for the group (btw Blizzard: Imp. Icy Talons would rock if it provided haste to ranged attack speed and/or spells, too)

Rotation:
DnD IT PS BS (RP) [cycle 1: build up death rune]
DnD IT PS IT (RP) [cycle 2: consume death rune]

Possible Talent Builds:
On Live: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
On PTR: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

Major Glyphs:
Live: Icy Touch, Bone Shield, Rune Strike
PTR: Icy Touch, Bone Shield, Plague Strike or Rune Strike

Minor Glyphs:
Blood Tap, Horn, Pestilence

Gonna try it tomorrow in Naxx-10 and will report back.
