I've also noticed Defile increasing my Vengeance from ~40k to 45kish.

So I noticed that paladins (like Lazel above I presume) rekilled Primordius. Is there a possibility that we might be able to do it as well? It would require ~290k DPS, but you get stat buffs.

Which is the better specialization for soloing, 2H Frost or Unholy?
Unholy is, however, more fun *hides behind ghoul*
Also, well done @ Lazel

Frost 2h is rather the worst of the dps specs for soloing, using death siphon on a steady basis is way more of a dps loss than it is for the other 2, perma death runes are nice, but on average unholy has the same amount 4 every second cycle, instead of 2 every cycle. Its purely a matter of management that you don't run out of death runes at the wrong moments.
Furthemore unholy heals with death siphon way more of what frost 2h heals with it. 35% more strength + stronger mastery makes a huge difference.
Also unholy brust way more than frost 2h does and for frequency, PoF can barely be considered a burst cd without trinkets and trinkets line up ideally every 2 minutes, which is the CD of garg and frenzy with gala hc. Also consistent dmg is higher if you have SoO hc gear + constant AoE is also higher, burst AoE lower though.
And if you need Burst AoE frost dw beats Frost 2h most likely, while that is purely a gearing matter.
Not to forget the actually useful execute Uh has.
Pets are also for the most time an advantage for soloing, for example at Hagara as you can do lightning phase with a pet on 10 man heroic, you can do shannox as uh as your pet can get you out of facerage, timmy also makes yogg +0 easier as he likes to eat constrictor tentacles.
If you don't have flex gear or below I would never prefer Frost 2h over Uh for soloing and if there is a frost niche, where it is actually better I would go for dw as you lose less dmg for selfheal and the whole package makes it just a better performer as frost 2h.
ANd if you really have lower gear I wouldn't really consider using a dps spec over blood, death siphon is simply to weak below 560 and the dps difference is smaller between blood and frost/uh.
4 down in MSV, working on Gara'jal next only because I want to see if I can get world first solo on him.

Oh and I finally got a video of Heroic Nefarian, been meaning to do this for a while. I was honestly surprised at how easy this actually was. I finally got a good pull on Heroic Maloriak(RNG blows that fight, being frozen, his self heals, timing the enrage right, placing D&D ugh) and then wanted to give Nef a go I ended up killing him on the first attempt which was funny because I was actually going to wipe it but I realized I might actually be able to just heal through it since I was in my full tank set. anyways here it is if you're bored

Oh i'm new and can't link yet sorry =( anyways I will ASAP. Love the thread. Keep up the kills
Pets can't be used to chain the lightning.
It's hard to say which is the better spec since no context was given. For example, when I clear ICC10 up to LK (doing it since it takes like 25 minutes, gets me some coin) I constantly kill bosses faster as 2H frost. I'm using UH now, though since I simply find it more fun. But yeah, there certainly are places where UH blows 2H out of the water.

Are you sure about that? :P
And yes, thanks to both of you for the responses. I'll give Unholy a shot.
