Conversion? For unholy, it slows down the usage of Death Coil. For 2handed frost, it slows down the amount of RP generation, for DW, it decreases the amount of survivabilty you have. Certainly, you can survive for a much longer time with it, but it really KILLS your damage. ATM, live, blizz thinks it kills your damage too much, thus the 100% buff to it's uptime. Same hps as before, a DK that died before with it is still going to die now. The only difference is that you can have it up twice as often, although that also means that you have much longer time without bonus RP generation, which for 2 of the 4 specs, is responsible for over half the rp generated.
Every time you use Frost Strike, thats 12% less hp you can regen. Death Coil, 15% less hp you can regen. IMO, its allright. Now, rather then Death Pact being the ONLY choice, you have 1 of 3 choices again. 2 will decrease your damage, but can put out more healing. 1 is essentially free, and can/should be used with Raise Dead.
