    Re: DW Frost or 2H Frost?

    The unholy subspec is far superior to blood, no question about it. At very low gear levels the two might be closer to equal, but there are a few problems with blood.

    -2 points in butchery are just about wasted, this is an abysmal per point dps gain.
    -Bladed armor is a static buff, it does not scale (hardly) at all between gear upgrades. The armor difference between naxx loot and Ilvl 258 gear is negligible for dps.
    -Dark conviction is not as large of a gain as people think, 1% crit is NOT 1% damage for a build that already has such an insane crit chance.

    Compared to

    -2 points to buff plague strike. (pretty much wasted points just like butchery)
    -3% spell hit (new discoveries just today at EJ might show that spell hit cap is FAR better than previously thought)
    -Necrosis is fantastic, and scales with gear and raid buffs like a wet dream
    -Epidemic allows for smoother rotations and helps people with a higher ping
    -3% strength is nothing to sneeze at, again this buff scales with gear. (seeing a pattern here?)
    -BCB again scales with gear and does solid damage.

    No question about it, unholy is better and scales where as blood is static. The only real choice is BCB vs Sub, depending on which fights your guild is currently pushing you can go either way. Currently I'm using sub to make phase 3 yogg hardmode easier, but BCB is certainly more dps per point.
