Hello.
I have posted almost exactly this same post on deathknight.info but didn't actually get the answers I was looking for - especially on question 2.
I've been diseasless blood for a while now but just lately got 4 pieces t7.25 (for the 4set bonus) and Betrayer of Humanity. I know that the build is dying in 3.1, but I still want some answers from pro peeps to at least clear up my confusion.
1.
I've read elitistjerk.com A LOT and watching those WWS reports with people pulling off almost 7k dps on Patchwerk blow my mind. I've been on approx 5k on Patch without a warrior sundering armor and without a "perfect" group setup. Our guild has some shitty dps'ers here and there and that's why that kill took 3+ mins. Fine enough. But 5k and 7k is still such a big difference!
I have 4054 ap, 32,8% crit, I'm hit capped and expertise capped and got the Sigil of Awareness from Heigan. My rotation is 2x Obliterate -> 2x Heart Strike -> RP dump. From the information I've gained this is the best rotation available. Is that correct?
When heroism is about to be used, I get to full RP, pop Hysteria, pop Dancing Rune Weap, use my trinket, potion of speed, and I do 2x Obliterate -> 2x Heart Strike and then I use Empower Runic Weapon so I can do the rotation from start again since Obliterate is our "main" ability in this build. I'm in Blood Presence all the time. Is this correct? Do you all do it this way? Or is there some better way to use the CD's?

Something I've noticed with a lot of the WWS reports I've been looking at where the diseasless blood dk is doing massive dps, is that their nr. 1 damage ability is melee weapon swings while mine come from Obliterate. I've got two screenshots where you can compare me and a DK that posted on elitistjerk. Again, he is not the only DK that I've noticed that has melee weapon hits as main damage ability but I've picked him for you to compare. I noticed it on the Sartharion 3D 10 man zerg kill too. There the blood dk, which has approx same gear and stats as me, has also melee swings as main damage ability. I've done the zerg kill too, but again Obliterate was MY main damage ability while another blood DK in the raid who did more dps had melee swings as main damage ability.
Me:

Other DK (as an example):

Can anyone give a logical answer to this? It's been bugging me for I don't know how long now, and I am confused if I'm doing anything wrong.
Thanks in advance.
