Chest: Breastplate of Cyclopean Dread
Wrists: Bracers of Blind Hatred

Note: The cloak starts out at 608 2/2 when you create it. Also, the heirloom weapons aren't upgradable which makes Desecrated Gorehowl BiS at 580 2/2 versus 574 for the heirlooms.
Thank you for that.
That's how it goes on the PTR currently. Originally the cloak was unupgradable and 600 ilevel which means they've changed it since. With that said, I don't believe there's been anything completely official on this but I'd say it's 99% safe to assume the cloak will start out at either 608 2/2 or simply at 608 without the item upgrades noted in the tooltip.
I know it says 'Frost', but has anyone looked into Blood's BiS list?
What are the stat weights looking like with the latest sims? The set above appears to prefer mastey>crit>haste, but that doesn't seem right from a 2h perspective (surely it is the case for DW though). Realistically, it appears that all 3 secondary stats just plain stink for 2h. Crit is devalued by haste, haste is devalued by CD reduction trinket and the buffed plague leech leading to near rune/RP capping, and mastery just doesn't seem all that good either since the spec still revolves around obliterate. Seems like like DW scaling will drastically outpace 2h scaling too.

Unholy doesn't pick up the 4 piece whereas both variants of Frost will. Unholy and 2H Frost both gem and gear crit > mastery > haste.
adds root? what?
the 4p adds an extra frost dmg instance for every special move that hits your target. which scales with the mastery of the frost spec.

Since we're commenting on the technicalities here, it actually impales the target with an icy spike from below.
The Unholy 4 piece last I checked was worth about 2-2.5% of your damage on a single target. The biggest benefit from the bonus came from spending less runes on DT and therefore getting a couple of extra Scourge Strikes out. On AoE, this bonus is further diminished.
