Best DK class right now is?

[Deleted]

Hey,

Just returned to MoP as I quit mid Cata so I'm pretty much lost with my dk...

What currently is the best dps spec to go for? I'm currently unholy as back in Cata I was dealing a sh*t ton of damage in raids but I'm not to sure about now lol

Any other additional information would be great!

Cheers

Welcome back
Currently unholy is the best dps spec for dk, but for that you need the new trinkets evil eye and tail tip. Frost is great to but around 540ilvl with trinkets unholy beat frost.
So unholy is the winner

Death Knight is currently the best DK class right now. Kappa.

I don't think the trinkets are needed for UH. The reason dw frost pulled ahead early 5.4 was due to the trinkets, but the buffs to frost and UH made UH stronger as a whole. Even the Klaxxi trinket is very viable for UH.

but having 2 str proccing trinkets is a huge increase for unholy

Your take away from this is both are viable. Unless you are pushing world first (9 months late for that you are) they are within a few % of each other. Your skill with a particular spec will have more of an outcome than the spec balance. Play what you like the best.

Thanks for the input I'm not to sure about my DPS, I don't seem to be doing overly good. Here is my armoury if anybody wants to have a gander/wow/en/character/kazzak/Saejima/advanced

OP says "just returned". No point telling him go unholy as it overtakes frost at higher ilvl, unless he's got a way of getting to that kind of ilvl in a couple of months. Either way, if you're starting fresh again, frost will probably be more rewarding early on.

Not arguing that unholy is eventually better, because it is, just trying to answer best as per what OP asked for.
