Official 3.1 DK notes

[breathweapon]

also i cant believe no news on diseases. blood dps are pulling near 6k (sorry dont have the SS or the report to prove it feel free to find the topic at mmochamp with the link) without using diseases yet they dont address that when the main thing about being a DK is runes and diseases. seems very strange. ill hope this is just a true "highlight" as they said but if this is the biggest news they have for the class every disheartening.

They're addressing diseases by addressing Plague Strike, it's going to get a +% damage buff so it's not a waste of a GCD, expect 50% of baseline damage on PTR.

Edit: Lol@people QQing about the Pestilence "nerf," it was clear Pestilence damage and Blood Boil couldn't co-exist because Pestilence damage invalidated Blood Boil. I honestly expected Blood Boil to be changed from a Blood rune to an Unholy rune at some point too.

Only person so far that has the insight to see why Blizz is nerfing Pest. Any DK tank atm dont even have bb on their bars let alone use it.
Hopefully they will do something with the threat though, without doing damage wonder how the threat of Pest is going to be like.

Difference between boneshield and unbreakable armor is that boneshield provides partial damage reduction, and unbreakable armor will soak up ALL damage done to you.
