EJ says to not use it in single-target, actually. if there's ever more than one target, hit it. otherwise, don't bother.
Hmm, ive actually continued to use it on single target, maybe i should stop that and see if i gain / lose dps...
It's probably really close and depents on your weapon damage and other stats. If there is ever a time where an add is close to your target, just use it. Otherwise don't bother too much. I tend to use it if my cooldowns are about to wear off since the damage is calculated at the time you use it (from what I've seen, not 100% on this).

Don't use D&D on single target when you are stick to your target, simply because SS output deals more damage.
However, if you do Feng in MsV as unholy, I find it worth dropping a D&D for those times where you simpy can't stay on the boss. It's better to leave your BP,FV+D&D than just dots. And by the time you are back you'll be perfectly able to use one or two SS.

Isnt DnD a damage increase since it ticks 11 times? So it does more damage than SS? Like in Cata
I seem to remember reading somewhere (on these forums since I pretend to be illiterate anywhere else) that they fixed that and its back to 10 ticks while nerfing its overall damage, making it deal about 25% less damage than a Scourge Strike for the same cost, but if you have more than one target, cleave baby cleave.
Side note: Icy Veins is wrong about Unholy Frenzy and Bloodlust. They DO stack. My rune regen speed with Bloodlust = 5.85. With Bloodlust + Unholy Frenzy: 4.88.
Also, DnD works just like it did in Cata. The issues with the 11th tick were fixed in beta. However, Scourge Strike surpasses it when you get the 2pc t14 bonus.

So even if UF and BL stack... its not really a good idea to use them together. Generally you'll be completely gcd capped if you use them together and end up wasting runes.
Not at all. Not if you use Blood Tap. Now, once we get into T14 heroic gear and T15...yes.
