Your new awesome, untested spec

And I've no idea why you'd practically give each sentence its own line, but you've done it and your post is subsequently ugly.

Original Post:

Long time reader, never poster (maybe once or twice)

Usually don't feel the need to post, as with my low gear levels I generally don't have anything to contribute.

However, I've thought of something that I haven't seen brought up yet and am more than a little curious as to the impacts of it, so for you theorycrafts to chew on:

With the new Unholy Blight talent mechanics, adding the dot to Death Coil, how will it work? (PTR won't work for me, so I'm not sure if it's actually playable on right now or not, but heres my question anyway.)

- Will each Death Coil produce a stacking DoT on the target?

- Will a more powerful Death Coil crit (ie higher crit) Overwrite the current DoT on the target?

- Will each Death Coil refresh the DoT effect of UB?

-- If it does constantly refresh with each Death Coil, will it take 30% of the highest crit and refresh that, or will each refresh change the DoT to 30% of the last Death Coil?

-- Or if we get a high Death Coil crit, will we get "A more powerful spell is already active" and not be able to refresh the DoT refresh till that 10 seconds is up, in which case it would be yet another timer to monitor to make sure you had 40 rp to get the DoT back ticking ASAP.

- I read awhile back about the ITx6 spam, that delaying an IT for a moment to allow the DoT to tick once was something some people were doing, if this going to benifit again/this time?

Depending on recieving answers to the above, I may try something like this: 0 / 45 / 26

General spec intent: Keeping the Death Coil DoT rolling, Frost Striking when Death Coil DoT is already up. May benifit from Unholy Presence.

Rotation would be something like:
PS>IT>OB>BS>BS>DC>FS
OB>OB>OB>DC>FS Dump

Sigil of the Vengeful Heart for doubley benefity goodness.

No idea if it would work, but that would be why I'm here posting this.

Edit to add: Depending on how they change the UB glyph, this might work a little better. If they make the glyph add time to the Death Coil DoT that is.

PS: Im no Theory Crafter, just a back seat reader. I usually read and read and read until I find a spec that I find interesting with proven results, this is the first time I've used my brain for my own benifit so be gentle :P
