Unholy DK in RBG

[ArMeD_SuRvIvOr]

Heyo. I haven't played RBG since Cataclysm, and I'm starting once again as an unholy dk (yeah yeah, unholy lul). What is the unholy DK's job in RBG's in today's meta? Spam virulent plague on everything and spam epidemic while sitting on the kill target to debuff him (decomp/necro aura)?

What do I do? What is the current spec in the meta? Are unholy DK's even wanted for RBGs?

Gonna be top dps after paladin pure hearth nerf

Grip FC in flag BGs, spread AoE damage with the plague, the slow is good when the dot fades as well. Spam necrostrike on priority targets, asphyxiate for cross cc, cross interrupt with dark transformation, knockback setup on Eye of the cyclone with the death grip. Unholy DK are very wanted in RBGs with their toolkit (they are the only class who can "counter" VDH by gripping them midjump or stunning them midjump to annoy them)

Excuse my noobness, what is "cross crowd control"? And what do you mean by knockback setup on Eye of the Storm? We don't knockback O.o

Cross cc just means cc multiple targets, preferably healers. Knockback set up means death grip targets to the sides of your holy priests/ele shamans so they can instantly knock them off mid.

Alright, thanks, sounds good!

As for talents, both pvp and pve, what should I run with?

BTW, what's the meta nowadays, with these new talents that came out today? What to spec?

The changes while annoying to some specs (disc's 15% increase in damage from melee + still having gcd on rapture basically means without peels a disc will just die to any decent melee) have not really changed the cookie cutter RBG format, 2x Boomkins, 2x Rogues, 1x Mage, 1x DH (that can tank/dps), 1x SP, 3x Healers (take your pick, just don't stack them)

Okay, and what about the DK spec?

Fair point, miss-understood the question I can't say I have played with dk's much so can't answer that sadly beyond unholy
