However, in burst 2v2s, random battle grounds and triple DPS, I feel Frost DKs perform just fine, sometimes even better than their Unholy counterparts. Neither spec is bad - they are just different. In situations where you DON'T sit in blood pressence, Frost and Unholy perform fairly similarly - and in situations where you don't sit in blood pressence AND you need to burst in very small windows - I'd prefer frost over unholy.
All that being said, Learn unholy. Unless you REALLY plan to play some triple dps comp that's going to end battles in under 10 seconds..play unholy.
