Hi all! What you guys think about dw-frost tanking build http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...5omSe,rt,11159 ? And what 3rd glyph will fit it more - rune strike or obliterate? What's better fit current content - anticipation or rune tab? (i.e. more dodge or more "damage absorb")

Leveling a DK, I was wondering about a couple things specific to AOE DPS:

Assumption: Pestilence for any aoe pack first and foremost. If this is incorrect, please correct me.

Unholy: What is a better use of your Runes: DND or Blood Boil+Scourge Strike? Is there a scaling issue here where its low level gear one way and high level gear another?

Blood: Same question - DND or Blood Boil? I assume Blood Boil, but then you also have Heart Strike doing splash damage, so you now have a third option. Obliterate + Blood Boil sounds like the best option to me, but I'm a DK Scrub :P

For Unholy AoE DPS: Diseases + Pestilence followed by DnD. You want to make sure your diseases are spread first so that you will get the extra 10% damage from Blood Plague and 13% damage + 3% crit from Ebon Plaguebringer.

For Blood AoE DPS: It really depends on the amount of targets, but always make sure DnD is down. If there's 3-5 targets just stick with Heart Strike. If there's a lot, Blood Boil.

Since we now have a working DPS and Tank guide, this sticky will be unstickied

Thanks to MooDK for creating this awesome thread which helped a generation of DKs getting better, but most of the information in the OP is now outdated and could lead new players into false assumptions.

I won't lock this thread to keep current discussions going, but please post new questions in the respective guides.
