And why wasn't this (terrible) post included with your previous (terrible) post?

Original Post:

I'm gonna totally think out of the box here.

I was thinking:

Ideally we would want to have 4 major glyph slots, because besides, what we consider the 2 mandatory glyphs FS and Ob we could take 2 others.

My thought process was to combine the benefit of the glyph of disease with the frost fever application (and thus IT refreshement) of glyph of howling blast.

So i was thinking. How about we drop glyph of Frost Strike. And take Glyph of Obliterate, Glyph of Diseases and Glyph of Howling Blast.

Glyph of frost strike is a pretty huge loss. It means that you lose 20% of the dps on your frost strike. However if you use Glyph of diseases to keep diseases up, and glyph of howling blast on rime procs (i'm somewhat assuming you get at least 1 rime proc per 20 sec rotation here), you would be able to pull an extra obliterate like this:

OB > OB > PT > BS
OB > OB > OB

You are keeping disease up certainly with PT, and you keep refreshing IIT whenever a rime proc occurs.

This is of course just way out of the box thinking, and probably wont help that much. But you'd trade IT + PS + 1/5 FS for 1 Ob (i think).

The only big problem is that you can not garuantee a 100% uptime of IIT with this. (It has about a 80% chance to proc every 20 seconds this way)

EDIT: Did some simming. It shows up as a reasonable dps loss compared to OB/FS/BS though, and I'm not 100% sure how well this can be simulated really.
