    He might just be better than you... It happens... Every now and then some random guy in gear 5ilvls lower than mine will be a little too close for comfort on damage meters in LFR :-P

    Would help if you had a log for the raid you mentioned. Is his gear better than yours? When you say he "destroyed" you what encounters were you doing?

    By all accounts DW and 2h are pretty close single target but DW will pull ahead in any encounter with a cleave element (which is lots this tier). Am in the same position as you ATM - waiting for another 1h to drop (have a normal kilrak ATM) and then will be going DW

    I assume these are the logs worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-ztx4ti6t45k55cty/analyze/dd/source/?s=9496&e=9902

    He is actually 2H on most of the single target fights, and DW on the cleave fights (which is ideal). He beats you on wind lord and garalon because of cleave in DW. On ambershaper I'm not sure, his burn phase was really solid with high DPS (100k more than yours).

    As for zor'lok he was 2H and beat you (by a lot, maybe bc of mind control, I didn't look at logs closely), He was 2H on blade lord, and you beat him.

    His gear isn't far off yours (I'm guessing he has Heroic starshatter 2H based on his unequipped level)

    Maybe it's the computer that's the issue. Skill, rotation, and gear are no match for bad fps or high latency.

    I like Dual wield but it seems to be quite bad on single target.

    latency/fps will play a pretty big part when you consider DKs have the 1 sec GCD and very little waiting time nowadays, I wouldn't worry too much tbh man.

    I think i might just be bad at Dual wield, but i was almost last on Feng HC before the AoE with the shield.
    Its mostly the burn single target bosses i have issues with. lol

    Tbh I think it's just skill man. There is always going to be someone better and someone worse. I just got into a new guild and they already had an Unholy DK. He has his 4pc and around 502ilvl, to which I have a 2pc and 494ilvl. I demolish him on almost every fight. He even thought the reason was cause he was Unholy and I was Frost so he went Frost this week and still got crushed. Nothing but a difference in skill level even with a gear level gap and me only having 2 piece Tier. This is in no way, shape or form trying to bring you down. Im just trying to give you an explaination. Im pretty sure the guy in my guild is just as mad as you that another DK came in and is crushing him....especially since he's an officer. Btw I am 2H and am still pulling higher numbers than Gimdel and you (not an insult or trying to be cocky). I don't think you switching to DW is going to make THAT MUCH of a change, but on cleeve fights yes it should beat 2H.

    First read up on Mr Robot. DW and 2H DKs dont need the same gear. DW need alot of Strenght, 2H needs alot of Haste. Do you have the right stats?
    One top addon you need is CLC DK. Its a realy good tool to get your rotation right. It will check your build so it works both for Blood and frost.

    DW will have a little more DPS, but its a realy small amount. I like DW to but to get both Sha sword and the shimitar to drop is a pain. I did get the axe on my first run..so i go 2H now.
