Frost DK (the 4 piece anyway) has potential to break/trivialize some encounters if there isn't a hard cap on the bonus.
That said those set bonuses are some of the best I've ever seen for death knights in general, let alone frost.

some news? like frost still ahead with the new set bonus?
We can speculate something but to be honest nobody knows the answer, i'm quite sure not even the devs know it

unholy and frost is going to be nuts, also I have a feeling those unholy shoulders are going to be pretty good in 7.2.5
What M+ are we talking about? Frost dk doesn't really have big burst potential as UH do when it pops army, except situations when everything procs for fdk (assuming fdk is using bracers). My top opener was like 1.7 mil, but it is so rare. Often it is 1.5mil top.
So, as a result if your fight is only 1-2min there are good chances that frost will be behind, however if you will take 3+ min fights, belt legendary and RNG favors him - GL beating frost.
But yea, 917fdk here with bracers, running +14-18 dungeons and there are mb 10% of ppl who can beat me.

I'm virtually at the stage now where I can freely choose both specs, unholy is now at 52 traits and I'm 200 million AP away from 52 as frost. Frost legendary items, I only need the belt now, with Prydaz still in the pool, so 3 more weeks max till every legendary is in my arsenal (dps wise). For other DK's in a similar situation to mine, its about both specs being accessible rather than having only one to really choose from. Having the freedom to choose really highlights the downside to both the AP and leggos grind.

I've been at 52 Traits Frost for awhile now and I just hit 51 for UH. I also have all the Frost legendaries so I'm working on my UH ones next. Trying to be flexible for this tier because it just feels like a lot of stuff is up in the air currently with what's going to be performing better. I enjoy both specs so I'm fine whichever way it goes.
So even though other classes can "cheat" on dps because of mobility, DKs still perform as good/better than them?
It kinda depends. A lot of the higher parsing logs for DKs are achieved because the DK partially/completely ignores mechanics that other members of the raids are performing (eg eating Cakes or running away from Krosus to soak) This is pretty obvious when you look closely at the logs or even look up the "how to do MAX DPS on -Insert Boss Here-
If you're performing literally all of the mechanics to the same level as the rest of your raid group you'll see we fall off a little more comparatively.
But that being said there are still several fights that we are legitimately strong on by the nature of our kit so it happens to work out in our favor.
