[ Help with our Blood DK ] PVE!

[a C e]

His armory:

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...heorc/advanced

I think he has one item ungemmed because he recently got it.

Are his reforges good ?? i think he is going full mastery, because in our raid he is doing less healing and damage than our BM monk.

He has some problems:

1. Doesn't hold aggro as much as our BM ( he gets over agrroed and cant keep much aggro )
2. His damage is low, for example he cant even solo the seigecrafter add without help form atleast 2 people
3. he takes alot of damage

Some logs would help. His armory seems to be ok as far as I can see. So it's probably something in his playstyle.

Although I know that BrMs still deal a consdiderable amount of damage. So it might not be entirely his fault for not keep aggro off of him, especially if he has no vengance up before the taunt.

[Reniat]

If threat and aggro are an issue it most likely lies in how he is playing, not the way he is specced. Do you have logs available so we can see how is playing?

We dont have any logs sadly but one thing i dont understand is that he is using heart strike on single target over death strike

Death Strike costs one Unholy and one Frost rune, and Heart Strike costs a Blood rune.

Or a Death Rune alternatively.

But if he is using Heart Strike above Death Strike he's doing something very, very wrong. It's akin to a Warrior equipping a a sword in his offhand instead of a shield.
And I think it's also a DPS loss by now. But don't quote me on that one.

Yeah or maybe use your brain before posting a wall of text >_>

Or just check wow-heroes which also saves the tank gear, duh.

he asked for help thats what i did case closed

His reforging/gemming seems fine, when he gets better gear he should be able to go more into avoidance but for the level he is at right now mastery is probably safer. He could possibly drop some of the stamina gems in favour of mastery or avoidance.

Answering your questions:
1. Not holding aggro against a brewmaster is understandable if it's a tank switch, but should not be a problem if played correctly. Make sure he pools his resources so that he is able to use all of his GCDs during the initial taunt period and shortly thereafter.
2. Hard to evaluate without logs. For siegecrafter in general though you want the tanks to switch as late as possible as to get as many tank debuffs as possible. If your brewmaster is returning and taunting directly after killing his add, the DK most likely does not have enough vengance/debuff stacks to kill his add quickly.
3. Again, hard to evaluate without logs. Does he actually take a lot more damage, or does it simply feel that way? DKs and BMs are kind of the opposites, with BMs taking very smooth damage due to stagger, and DKs taking a lot of bursty damage due to the nature of death strike. Proper management of CDs and death strike timing would be the only general tips I could give regarding damage intake.
