Just as an FYI, it's the 3.2 thread, so we don't really want to clog it up with changes on the PTR that may or may not happen. So if you see someone ask something like this again, just report the post. Thanks!

The main reason its not much of a buff for DW is because SS is based on Weapon Dmg so it will hit alot harder with a 2 Hander compared to a 1 Hand weapon which is why people are looking at going 2H for unholy now rather than the previously competitive DW. See the below quote from a few posts up as a good example:

Currently the answer is yes for both builds listed above. For 15/0/55 in 3.2.2 the difference in damage between a 1handed SS and a two handed SS is small enough to be overtaken by the extra white damage and extra necrosis/bcb damage from using two weapons. If the PTR SS goes live the difference will grow large enough to swap the answer of the "prime" unholy DW question, meaning there is no reason at all to use two weapons.
All that said, I don't see any reason to panic whatsoever. The play style is the exact same between 2h and DW unholy, so if you want to continue to bring ebon plaguebringer to your raid just grab a new weapon and switch two talent points. Hey, think of it as more justification to go for your guild's Shadowmourne.
