The tuning is somewhat hard here, i see that too, especially as the mastery could potentially grow to insane degrees. Play that with a current dw spec in BiS gear with trinkets and everything on. 5 Hbs, 25% crit ca., so lets say 1 crit and 4 noncrit leaving you with a 1000k crit and 4 500k non crits. Because of 2set around 100% mastery, so infact the dmg would be halved, so 500k crit and 250k non crits. With a 5 stacks Cold of Death charge for 1500k dmg. Now you get a km proc and lets say oblit deals about 300% weapon dmg including diseases, so the doubled of a frost strike as through KM it deals frost dmg. Would land at about 700k. So in fact a 2200k hit or a 4400k crit, leaving you with a charge worth of 2-4 million dmg on your next obliterate.
You can imagine what would happen if you get enough km procs to keep that going, every oblit would hit harder and harder and that beyond reconing,
Thats also why it is a very beta idea. The idea is kinda nice, but its potential is stupidly unlimited atm. 2-3 million dps should be possible with a bit of luck if you patch it now.
