    Gurthalak for UH
    Souldrinkers for frost

    unholy is better for single target patchwerk
    frost is better for burst/target switching

    play whichever one you like more

    You're going to be behind as 2H frost right now, so I'd go DW with the Souldrinkers vs the Gurth, though you can switch to Unholy to use Gurth. Some fights will favor each spec (such as Frost for Spine)

    Or, if you're masterfrost, no'kaled is BiS for DW.
    Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
    So I chose the path of the Ebon Blade, and not a day passes where i've regretted it.

    Guess it depends on the situation too. Was the OP referring to PvE or PvP?

    UH~DW Frost, basically pick what ever you want. There is a slightly advatage for DW frost due very simple AoE execution (very important for Madness p2 for example).
    Pick whatever you like, you can't go wrong.

    If its for PvP 2H Frost works great for burst. I use 2 H. Souldrinkers in PvP and still do just as good with a H. Gurth. I see as many Unholy DK's in PvP as I do Frost ones. In bg's such as WSG and EoTS and TP I see Blood DK's (flag runners). Really just a matter of preference.

    For PvE I would say Frost DW and 2H Unholy are about the same. 2H Frost atm is below them both (atm). For fights like Spine, I use DW Frost and valor point trinket. I can't really say that Unholy is good for burst in that particular fight (correct me if I am wrong) but this is my two copper.
