Pretty sure this has been discussed and analyzed previously. Search and read before posting.

Original Post:

@Bensch (Or whoever really) This is probably a stupid question, but is ghoul frenzy such a poor performer that taking the 3 points in subversion and putting them in epidemic and ghoul frenzy to maintain 100% uptime (you would do the same rotation but replace a ps with a ghoul frenzy when it was down, since BP is going to last longer) is not a good tradeoff for the DW build C? I'm honestly not sure about the damage breakdown of the ghoul, or I'd try to figure it out myself. (Don't have time to test it atm)

EDIT:
Just to expand on this, you'd lose 9% crit on 2 attacks per rotation (1 BS, 1 SS), threat reduction, 10 RP per minute, and 1/3 of your plague strikes for 100% uptime ghoul frenzy, which both ensures your ghoul doesn't die, and increases his auto attack damage by 25%. You'd also clip a little less, so you might get like 1 extra blood plague tick in every 30 seconds. However, without a damage breakdown I can't really tell if this is worthwhile or not. Probably not, but if it's close it might be worth throwing in there just to keep the ghoul alive. If it's decided that blood boiling more often is better, that would increase this option's chances a little as well. Although it might make t9 2 piece not quite as great as it could be.
