    DW frost mainly tanking spec.

    Since i didnt get any help on the official forums i will shamelessly quote myself here and hope for some help.
    -
    Ok, so this is my first dk, i play as frost together with my brothers dk who is now blood.
    Atm im dualwielding a heirloom sword and the axe you get from honored with thrallmar (enchanted with crusader and rune of razorice)
    My normal rotation is IT-PS-HB-BS-BS-FS, if there is more than one mob i usually change 1 BS to pestilence to get Frost Fever on all targets. I have also tried some other rotations, but the above one seems to work the best.
    Mostly im in frost presence, because i like it, more hp and armor is neat in big pulls (mostly i pull 5-6 mobs, at least, and then me and my brother starts aoeing them down)

    So, i need some help here with spec, weps and rotations. Am i doing everything right? What can i improve or change?

    Some side notes: I want to DW, even if it means a bit lower dps, i like DWing, also i like frost spec.

    The goal for me is to be able to do good solo dps, and tank some instances if needed.
    Well, the goal for me is to be able to have a MT/OT role, hopefully as a DWing frost.

    I will go for 2h at level 80 if it turns out to be THE choice, though i will stay frost.

    cant say its a bad spec. could use some tweaks (imho not needed if not wanted. your free to play the way you like)

    my DK just dingen 69 yesterday i specced frost the moment i hit northrend (pfff.. outland typo -,-) to be able to tank some lower level instances.
    currently my spec looks like this.

    http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...h=000000000000

    going to build it out to either: http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...h=000000000000

    for dual wield.

    or: http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...h=000000000000

    for 2-h.
    it al depends on witch i like more at high end.

    anyway for your spec your rotation seems good. you also got blood of the north i see. so you might want to shift your rotation on the 2de go from IT-PS-HB-BS-BS-FS to IT-PS-HB-FS-HB-FS. thoug it depends on the number of enemys your facing and FS depends on the ammount of RP you have at tht time.

    weapon speed, DPS or if your DW or 2-h doesnt matter al to much for frost spec.
    HB, IT and D&D (see what i did there?) dont realy benefit from weapon DPS. only from attack power and things like that.
    the only thing is FS, BS, and PS. and later on (if you decide to use it) rune strike.

    as for improvements youll have to figure that out along the way.

    imo best for tanking!
    rotation:
    DnD -> IT -> PS -> Pest -> runes on cd spam rune strike -> BB -> HB well ull figure rest, it mainly repeating (add few frost strikes)

    Edit: Obliterate on single targets and bosses instead of HB!
