Dark Death is the lowest dps increase of the three glyphs listed in the OP. In addition, for people that wanted to min/max their trash pack AoE could also drop GoDD for glyph of Death and Decay.

Otherwise, you can use your secondary spec for that instead or accept lower trash dps.

New BiS lists added, thanks in large part to Bjados.

And, speaking of, yes, the enchants in the BiS list do match those in the Enchanting section. Remember, glove/boot enchants will vary depending on whether or not your hit capped (and such is stated in the Enchanting section). Otherwise, everything is identical.

Morbidity is not stronger than Necrosis on a single target. Run any sim at any gear level as any spec, and you'll see 4% auto-attack > 5% death coil. Look at any raid parse (such as ones posted on this very page), and you'll see the same.

Please cut it out with the dummy testing. It means nothing, and just clutters up the thread with things blatantly untrue and discussion which will leads nowhere. If you do a dummy testing and have a "feeling" it might actually mean something, then go run some sims or parse some raids, and then post about it. Until then... just, no.

@Fugazor: Were those stat weights calculated simply by changing the set bonus, or actually changing the underlying gear used?

I ran the numbers from my recent WoL report with Bryntroll and the proc is worth ~390 dps on single target in an unholy build, if that helps you with the BiS lists. According to the sim, in current T9 gear, that put Bryntroll 200 dps above heroic Dual-Blade Butcher.

Small typos: Death's Choice (Heroic) is listed in the non-heroic loot list, and right above the first stat weights table it says 259 instead of 258.

Yeah, I have a feeling Bryntroll is BiS. It would help if the sim gave a DPS per AP number, so the loss of stats (crit/arp/etc) could more easily be compared to the gain of the proc. Such a number would be useful for a variety of other reasons and tests, and would actually allow one to compare stat weights and scaling cross specs (something you certainly can't do now). Something I've been desirous of for some time.

As to Death's Choice, that was a difficult call. I would think that given ICC gear, even the most mediocre of players would be able to go back and complete Twin Valks hard, as it isn't a difficult encounter, and as better gear will eliminate the only challenges in it (downing shields in time and not dying). Insanity loot wasn't counted, for that matter.

At any rate, the normal version would be BiS regardless. I suppose I'll change it.

Typos fixed.

Has anyone else noticed Bone Shield charges being consumed by AoEs, such as Algalon stars collapsing?

i have been doing chain heroics and ive noticed that my charges have been getting eatting by aoe, like flamestrike and other no direction damage, i have been to uld this week yet. But if my guild does go back to Algalon monday ill pay close attention to it

Running the simulator, I find that using this build provides more dps than the build listed on the front page, replacing GoDD with GoD, and Epidemic with 2/3 Morbidity.

The rotation would be:
Intro: PS-IT-SS-BS-PS-DC
Then use: SS-SS-BS-PS-DC-(DC)

Obviously very simple and easy, however using my own gear and the 2h ToC Unholy set, it shows higher dps than the front page build.

That's using the simulator's 2h ToC Unholy. In my gear (which isn't that great), it's about an 83dps increase, although I'm not sure if it still wins in ICC and T10 gear. If someone else wants to run the sim and see if they get similar results that would be great.

Bryntroll is BiS for Ret (who gets slightly more procs), so it would make sense for it to be BiS for Unholy (this ignores Shadowmourne).

Bone Shield does seem to be consumed by being hit with AoE.

I talked to a GM today about this. Based on his/her response, s/he acknowledged this was a known issue and is reporting this to their developers.

During Marrowgar I realized I was losing bone charges during bonestorm, but I never lost it walking over fires if I recall correctly.

as well as i could not get my sim to give out the numbers he got for the build he came up with, best it did for me with my gear was

@EmoKiller: You messed up putting in the rotation. His numbers for such a spec were accurate and in line with what I could reproduce, his Epidemic numbers were simply off (due to using priority).

@Vulo: Without Reaping and without Dirge you generate
10 (PS) + 10 ( IT) + 10 (BS) + 10 (BS) + 15 (SS) + 10 (HoW) + 15 (SS) + 10 (BS) + 10 (BS) + 15 (SS) = 115 RP.

Dirge will increase that by 20 (1xPS, 3xSS), or 17.4% more damage from runic power.
Morbidity will increase the damage done from that RP by 10% (with two points).

Dirge is the clear winner (unless you're generating tons of RP from AMS and such), especially once you hit the Reaping point. Anything to the contrary is the simulator messing up, somehow.

I am getting similar results with the sim showing no dirge to be better. It does so while showing less DC damage by taking Morbidity (which is what logically makes sense, but if that's the case, it shouldn't be doing more overall dps, as nothing else should change). It seems to be somehow giving weight to the GCD saving (scant as it is) that no Dirge provides, which is still flawed, since the GCD saving is meaningless with you already running with plenty of extra.

Not sure what it's doing wrong, but suffice is to say, the sim isn't flawless, and this is very basic math which almost anyone should be capable of doing. I wouldn't advise no Dirge.
