Small change to the OP: As someone pointed out to me, Bracer enchants in this tier give 170 Strength, so Leatherworking gives 330 Strength, as opposed to 320 that the other professions do.

I don't know your specifics, but I'd guess that of the i264 weapons, Shadow's Edge would be the best for you.

I suggest downloading Kahorie's DK Sim and testing it out.

Assuming you are sub-frost, if you gain +hit from gems, you are giving up 20 haste to gain 15 str. Using i264 values, 15 str is worth (15x3.11) 46.65 AP, whereas 20 haste is worth (20x2.75) 55 AP. ...

Specifically, because to take gear/gems that have Expertise on them, Consider would have to sacrifice a stat of better value. Unlike +hit, expertise below the cap does not rate higher than strength.

SS was nerfed from the previous build. The shadow portion no longer can crit, and Ebon Plaguebringer no longer affects the shadow portion (the shadow multiplier is now ~0.924 now instead of 1.0438).

You fill those holes with HoW, Blood Tap-Blood Strike, Gargoyle, whatever else you need a GCD for.

Too many free GCDs is not necessarily a bad thing, but too few definitely is.
