    1H weapon list with WoWhead.com links for DW DKs - DPS & Tank weapons

    I always find it annoying to look up 1H weapons, so I thought I'd construct a quick list for my fellow DK brethren which can be picked up in ICC 10 & 25. The links are for the normal versions, not heroic.

    I've yet to venture into the world of DW Frost, but I would like very much to try it out as both a tank and dps. Speaking of, has there ever in been a consensus decision as to what's best to DW tank with (dps/tank/mix)? I would assume tanking with slow DPS is the way to go, but I constantly see conflicting comments.

    *Edit*
    As suspected, fast tanking weapons are garbage. So I gave them a strikethrough.

    Forget fast weapons, really. Just forget them.

    PLEASE Take off the FAST Tank Weapons.

    Instead of being a downer though, here is a list of the weapons you should be using.

    May want to link to Quel'Delar Cunning as well; though not actually within ICC10/25 it is one of the best DW DK weapons until dual Bloodvenom (which don't want to drop) or Havoc's Call, the latter being a tad more difficult for most to acquire currently.

    As for tanking with tank weapons...you really need to know your threat and the threat of your raid, but if you are not caught when using those then your DPS is doing something wrong. While I was hopeful for a while, the growth of DPS compared to TPS recently especially will cause problems without tons of MD and ToT.

    fast are the fail. might as well take out the crossed out words so newer frosties and those looking to frost don't get confused

    I just wanted to keep the scope of this within ICC gear. I agree concerning the tanking weapons, which is why I've always assumed one should DW tank with dps weapons. I know what you mean with threat, tanks definitely haven't scaled well with this explosion in dps. I'm fine on threat now with Ramaladni's in Blood, but on some rare occasions a self-cast Hysteria is required. Single target isn't that bad, although AoE is another story when you have savage dps engaging before I even have everyone within a DnD.

    @ Albert: I'm not going to just remove words from my post. I wrote them, edited them, and it is what it is. Also, it would make the flow of comments awkward and confusing. New DKs have the right to be curious and view those items that are crossed out.
