For PvE you could go for this 18/0/53 build.

I only do heroics with my DK. Raiding or solo play DKs would probably juggle a few things around.

this would have to be my spec starting out in 3.1

I expect a lot of movement in ulduar which means Imp unholy presence is needed even if it doesn't benefit the whole raid, it still gives me more movement and overall more DPS.

like many others have said, as we gear up in ulduar black ice will eventually become better than bladed armor and thus i would switch to a spec looking somewhat like this:

http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...5&version=9757

I would always use glyph of disease over glyph of SS because when you use pestilence, there is a 100% chance to refresh diseases. I know where will be a lot of SS's and the chance to refresh them is high but i would still rather give up a BS in a rotation to be 100% sure. Pest is also now counted in reaping so its not like i would be giving up making that death rune.

Also, this new glyph is why i didnt take 2/2 Epidemic on either of my builds. sure its nice, but its not really needed.

anyway, just wanted to post the spec's id use. ;D

And no Dirge, no 5/5 Desecration. I don't see it happening.

OMG, Bone Shield IS a dps talent. Sheesh. 2% dps gain for 1 talent point invested. You're retarded if you don't take it. You also don't have Dirge. Only 3 pts in Desecration? What kind of "pure dps spec" is that?

Black ice + annihilation > everything blood tree can offer and more at the same tier levels.

Unholy side, 2 points are basically going to be missing from "perfect" spec no matter what you do to it. Essentially you need to decide if you want to be go with:

1/3 BcB
3/5 Desecration
3/5 Impurity
1/3 Ravenous Dead

Instead of a full DPS spec. This would largely depend on your gear.

There is a point at which unholy blight's full duration does more damage, even on a single target, than a death coil and in some cases even more than a death coil's crit.

Unholy blight scales better with gear than death coil and becomes more damage per runic power than death coil. Not to mention, it's helpfulness on trash.

Blizz had said themselves that if trash didn't matter, they wouldn't incorporate it into the game. We've seen Naxx's trash and its pretty weak. I expect Ulduar's trash (as well as bosses obviously) to be much harder.

[Bullshifter]

You would have to have an extremely high (basically unobtainable- ~70%) spell crit rate for your average Death Coil to exceed Unholy Blight's damage even on single targets, provided it will be up for it's full duration. And it's usefulness for trash is just icing on the cake. It would be silly to not take it.

Annihilation in a Deep Unholy spec? Seriously? The Obliterate aspect does zilch for us. So you'd be wasting 3 points on melee crit? At the same time you neglect Desecration, which adds 5% damage overall (minus a slight amount for it not being "active" 100% of the time)? For a deep unholy, there is zero reason to go further than 10 points in Frost.

Probably going for something like http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...4&version=9757 myself.

In general, the nerfed Necrosis is still a good place to put points. Stronger than Dark Conviction. I think the situational benefit of Morbidity will outweigh DC as well tbh. There's not really a lot of reason to go further than 12 points in Blood after 3.1, except for the inflated value that people seem to place on crit.

I am also thinking something like this now:

Not taking Dirge, once again, is not a good idea. Dirge is one of the stronger talents in the Unholy tree. Necrosis, even in it's nerfed state on the PTR is a better place to put the 5 pts in than Dark Conviction. And it would probably be wise to take a point from Morbidity and finish filling out Desecration. There isn't much reason to go further than 12 pts in Blood post 3.1.
