inb4 unholy spec is king of pvp
Anybody pvps with threat of thassarian with moderate success? Whats your pvp spec like? Also this is probably not arena friendly, so no need to bring it up (unless you're actually doing well in arena with a dw frost spec). BGfun only

The damage is excellent (white dw+oblit+fs), but I find my survivability to be the biggest thing sacrificed. If I don't overkill the person in UH pres I'm a dead man flailing.
I'm thinking about switching over to this: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#jf0hZ...cofufuzAoc:kNs
In this spec I'd be sacrificing the ability to pewpew hard with obliterate and instead gain 10% of my hp often with death strike. Icy touch glyph (along with scent and chill) pretty much assures that you'd be frost striking 90% of the time anyway. The majority of your white comes from the fact that you're dual wielding, and the majority of your spell comes from frost strike. I haven't tried this yet so I made this thread to see if anybody else has experience in the dw frost pvp field.
Currently I gem strength, hit and spell pen in that order. Mix 'em around as I need. I wear a bit of ArP gear too to help the dw white (9%).
I'm thinking about using spell pen JC gems instead of str JC, and splitting str gems with stam (str/stam) for the second build. Stamina struck me as huge for the ds healing portion especially if i'm speccing into imp. frost pres for the nerfed +6% stam. It's also intimidating to see a dw dk running towards you with only his HoW buff, Blood pres and 27k+ hp.
I'm pretty biased towards frost dw pvp now and have had enough of unholy for the past couple of seasons so you can't convince me unholy is better, i know it is.
Thoughts? If you have no experience on frost dw pvp or feel the urge to convert me back to UH, keep it to yourself.
