If 26 of those "hits" are actually the shadow portion of your 26 crits, you're looking at 26*2/90 = 57.8% crits.

Edit:
Just realized i messed that up. 26 crits means 38 hits (total of 64 attacks)...

Whoops. That's what happens when you sit out for an entire content patch and make assumptions about how things function without verifying them. My apologies and thanks for the correction.

Per target per rune under your conditions, you'd actually need 6+ targets to create more overall damage/rune with Blood Boil. HSx2 (cleaves) = 7,600 dmg/rune. BBx6 = 8,700 dmg/rune. It'd be pretty...

Yeah, you can't do 3 Scourge Strikes in the second half of the rotation. Lacking Death Runes for it and all.
Not to mention the damage loss.

Using a major glyph to buff a strike that makes up ~5-6% of your overall DPS, compared to one that either makes up 25-30+% (Oblit/FS) or one with significant utility (HB/IT) is not a good strategy....

Does the 2% crit to melee specials work out to be better than 8% melee haste (Annihilation v. Icy Talons)? It seems like the haste would work out better with Necrosis, BCB and (assumption) extra...

That's a blatant place holder item, however, just a copy-rename of the Sigil of Awareness. So, there's no real way to know which spec(s) it's intended for.

A 4 HS rotation (do you mean a 4 HS second half rotation?) should result in a 9 sec + 10.5 sec (in BP) full rotation, which should fit fine with the buffer. That's 13 GCDs. So, a tight rotation, yes....

I'm guessing your estimate of "below 30" is more precisely anything below 32? Or it's a typo?
I haven't tried it in a bit here, so I don't know it's Live status, but the glyphed cost should be 32.

The most important point regarding Pestilence though is that HB does double damage against targets afflicted by Frost Fever, and 10% more via Glacier Rot.
