One of the best dps builds ive used, hope you enjoy.

Theres a cycle too, if you want to use it to the best of its abilites.


stats for DKS are prioritized as follows:

STR > all

maintain hit cap at 8%
maintain expertise cap at 26

crit and haste should only come with gear.

spell power, spell penetration, intellect, spirit, mana regen, defense, parry , shield block, and dodge do nothing for dps. if you have any of these stats on your dps set, then you really need to replace them before someone sees it

standart blood rotation is as follows

i spam this macro through one full cycle:

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=target Plague Strike, Icy Touch, Heart Strike, Heart Strike, Death Strike
/cast !Rune Strike

cast one death coil then spam this next macro through one full cycle:

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=target Death Strike, Heart Strike, Heart Strike, Heart Strike, Heart Strike
/cast !Rune Strike

cast one death coil.


Repeat until boss is dead.

blood is awesome, my spec is similar with a few differences:

i also start off with icy touch so i can hit the boss while running in.

i also tank in blood:

i made it myself using existing specs and giving myself what are considered the tanking talents. tell me what you think.

I gotta ask when you mean dual-handed, you saying you use a 2H weapon or 2 1h's? If so DW for Dk's is fail with blood, you short yourself alot of dps that way.

also spammin 2 macros? blood rotaion is easy enough, but you should only have to cast IT and PS one time and keep them up with pesti the whole fight.

IT>PS>DS>HS>HS>DC dump>DC>HS dump

priority is pestilence when disease get low, refresh at like 3-4 sec left so you don't risk losing them, and use Heart Strike over DC cause it's more dps that worrying about your rune power.

Exp is hard to get for DK's without gemming for it. I suggest grabbing T9 gear cause it has some exp on it.

I've used all specs and I've found blood to be the easiest and best single target dps. Frost DW is very good, but difficult because you rely on Rime and Killing Machine procs. Unholy is an amazing AoE spec, I've done over 10k dps with just lame 4700 gearscore items.

If you have questions feel free to ask...
