2Hand Frost dps

I really wish they would just target cap HB instead of making it, in terms of AE, a bad form of pestilance that only spreads FP.

Seems like there were better ways to reduce a Frost DKs impact on AE encounters without seriously limiting a class defining ability like this.

What makes howling blast powerful in AoE was not the frost fever it puts up (that's just convenient). It's that it consumes a single rune and has no cooldown. It was more controlled in AoE in 3.3.5 and earlier, due to using 2 runes and having a cooldown.

DW Frost is only similar on a spreadsheet. With all the required movement, and Unholy having a huge amount of dmg from a stationary pet that takes almost no aoe dmg and is on the boss constantly, they come out well ahead of any frost spec currently. dw frost is only really good for situational use like maggots on Mag (with a slight spec gimp for slowing), otherwise not going Unholy is a dmg gimp.

even though you play a pally and wouldn't know much about a dk this is your theory though it is proven to be false. 2h UH always comes out on top yes. on a spread sheet it doesn't come out similar no. movement may seem like it changes the damage by astronomical amounts but in reality its not really as much as you assume. IT DOES i would be a fool to ignore that but the damage output is still well within 5% DW frost VS 2h UH. 2h frost was always 10% behind period.
