Heroic Jin'rohk, 25man, 90th percentile
Unholy 258,000
Frost 215,000
No meter padding, and unholy beats frost by 17%.
Heroic Magaera, same conditions
Unholy 212,516
Frost 182,232
No meter padding, unholy beats frost by 15%.
Heroic Iron'Qon, same conditions
Unholy 185,804
Frost 163,837
Again, no meter padding, and unholy beats frost by 12%
So no, frost and unholy are not even close to being equal. Increase the percentile to 95% (which reduces the sample size to an unacceptably low value imo) and the gap only widens. Reduce it to "all parses" and the gap closes, but "all parses" is 100% statistically worthless.
Stop pretending that your personal experiences and anecdotal accounts mean anything.
