Battletag: Chris#23952 (EU)

I think its intended, just as the Shadow Infusion talent for UH DK's. It lets you bring some of the old style which have been removed from the core spec. And stilll there is a minor difference in that it is now only the runes which can use KM, not your RP spender (FS).
you could choose to go
Shattering Strikes
Horn of Winter
Ice Cap
Frostscythe
Glacial Advance
with a few caveats only use FSc on Killing Machine procs and only Frost Strike at 5 stacks of RI
that is a fair amount of micro management and probably makes frost the most "robust rotation" of the 23 specs i have tried so far (though it is extremely tedious) Also note the build serves no other purpose but to be ability heavy for the sake of being ability heavy.
Agreed
but at the same time active talents usually start out weaker and gain power through taking advantage of mechanics or emergent play styles that are born through higher gear and Set bonuses.
Like WoD BoS or the control offered from Blood tap and plague leech. (though leech was just always the best choice for Blood/Frost)
I think Talents like Castigator, bursting sores, Frost Scythe, BoS, Glacial Advance will have that affect as we gain more crit/mastery and depending on fights etc etc.

I know right. Just tried it out on PTR and I wasn't looking forward to Frost at first cause people kept posting that "it's the same as live" but it's nowhere near the same (IMO). I think it's miles better than live. Would love for FScythe to deal more damage than OB when KM procs, but other than that it's quite awesome.
I'm so glad HB spam for single target is being killed. I was definitely going to go UH if I had to keep playing a melee caster like that.
Hasn't Frost always been one of the easiest specs?
Anyway, I don't have beta access (for the first time in several expansions) so I'm REALLY itching to try out the new rotation/talents.
Not everything has to be Frost damage? Just like not everything with Unholy is Shadow damage...
Even if Obliterate did Frost damage you'd still be doing physical damage with your auto attacks...

It's simple...Scythe is for AoE while Oblit is for single target.
I felt like the new frost dk played too slow for my taste (I preferred frost back in DS with how fast it played). So I am planning on changing to enhance shaman. But damn, the new animations are sick as fuck.
The problem is that frost dks are really strong on beta, right now(most melees are), but I hope blizzard make tweaks on our damage source, I hope FSc and BoS receive a buff, and Crystalline Swords + Sindragosa Fury are reworked, even if it results a nerf on HB or Frost Strike.
About RW, I only us it on ST when I´m speced with gathering storm. Because I went for hyporthemia, but gonna hit it on CD when I get Frozen Soul(golden artifact).
