The useful posts in this thread seem to follow a given format of sorts. Thanks.
Sorry for not checking back right away. My spec was the normal 17/0/54, gear is all best in slot (as far as I can tell) besides Death's Bite and Bandit's Insignia (Darkmoon card for 2nd trinket). Fallen Crusader on weapon. Also had a nearly perfect gargoyle (weapon, greatness, lust) though I forgot the speed pot.

I was using the normal 2h unholy rotation with glyph of SS. 5xSS, 2xBS, replace a SS with PS->IT when necessary.

Also had a 2nd unholy DK in the raid, so uptime on 3rd disease wasn't 100%. I updated my initial post with this, for those who read through for the first time.

Ok decided I would actually post the PW numbers of the current spec.

14/50/7

4065dps

Not using a solid rotation per se but following a basic priority system.
  • Diseases Up
  • Death Runes Up
  • Oblit Until RP Capped
  • Dump With FS
  • Oblit/FS Accordingly until diseases need refreshing

25 man PW.
DPS 4909 (SS), I'm quite casual; so sadly no WoWmeter or WWS.
32/39 with bad fillers.(No desecration)
Hailstorm/Hatestrike RotF/CG
Flask, no food, no pots.
Glyphs: Ghoul/SS/DnD
Blood presence.
Lacking 10% AP buff.
Time: Didn't really capture that, but somewhere around 3:30-4:00~, considering I was able to to pop Garg twice.

Notes: First time doing PW 25. AoTD on pull, popped Garg with Loatheb clicky and RotF proc. No bloodlust until quite late in the encounter. Messed up rotations twice during the encounter and had to wait for Rune CD. 2nd Garg only lasted a few secs. Still got SS glyph after being UH. Upgrades since encounter are: PW Ring and T7,5 Shoulders(from T7).

Had a 6664 DPS Patchwerk kill without a 10% AP buff in the raid today, are Screenshots enough proof? I don't have a WMO report because of a disconnect just before Patchwerk. I'm going to edit the details and screenshots in after the raid if it's okay.

Screenshot:

  • no Tricks of the Trade

0/34/37

I was flasked, STR food, Pet STR food, 1x haste potion, AotD during the pull (we had a bad pull), no Hysteria/tot or similar. We also didn't have a stacked raid which seems to be all the rage now (2:45 kill time).

Rotation:
ps-it-bb-bb-hb-rp
ps-it-it-it-hb-rp

I didn't take Rime procs and I adjust when my HB was cast based on KM procs. I used Bloodboil instead of Blood Strikes tonight to try and get an edge on the GCD fight in blood presence and getting out 3 DC's. I lost a little damage going to BB's but I think the quicker GCD's helped. I may try next week with BS's (not that it will really matter).

I was running double FC on weapons (had 70% uptime).

Glyphs - Icy Touch, Ghoul, DnD (forget to switch to plague strike).

Wow. Great numbers. Could you tell us what kind of rotation (an macro's) you use and why you glyphed Bone Shield?
Thanks in advance.

25 Man Patchwerk, 17/0/54 2h Unholy build, last Wed.

Wow Web Stats

Unfortunately, WWS never can pick up my Ghoul, here is it's report from the same fight:

Wow Web Stats

Adding his 770 dps to my own 5432 gives us a total of 6202 dps for the fight.

I was fully buffed, flasked, well fed (dragonfin fillet), and used Insane Str pot right as Heroism was cast, and popped gargoyle right after Str pot.

I did NOT use AotD, my guildleader is leery of it atm, but I plan on using it next Patchwerk, I'll give results then.

One thing to note: I didn't miss a single time, so my rotation was nearly perfect, so this very well might be a case of a Perfect Storm of dps. We'll see how this week's goes.

There is something I don't understand.
I thought DW DKs need 11% hit + 3% virulence + 3% raid debuff = 17% spell hit cap
But ZTN is at 9,3% hit + 2% virulence and didn't miss a single spell.
Anyone explain me how or what is the real ideal hit % please
