Re: Archivis' 3.1 DK Spec Theorycraft Thread
He guys, long time reader, first time posting... I'm also a nub DK looking for some tank/PVP tips. Anywhoo, reading some of the above DK Tank rotations, I notice nobody includes Dark Command (think thats what its called).. Is it just assumed to be used whenever its up? Or is it generally not used in leiu of an attack that will generate more threat? Just curious..
Also, had a nub question about runeforging... Are there any high level enchants that are better than the runeforge alternatives or will a runeforged weapon always outweigh any "similar" enchant? (similar meaning: +AP Enchant is "similar" to increased damage rune etc... if that makes sense) |

| Dark Command does not generate threat. Dark Command will force a target to attack you if it is not attacking you. It will also bring your threat level up to the threat level of the person you taunted it off of.
You should NOT be using it as a part of your regular rotation. You should be using Dark Command to peel an add off someone else.
Also, Runeforge > Enchants. |

Just create a taunt macro and bind it someplace easy to get to:
#showtooltip
/cast Dark Command
/cast !Death Grip
or
#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=[insert CD of your DG here] Death Grip, Dark Command

I made mine with extra Dark commands
/castsequance reset = 25 Death Grip, Dark Command, Dark Command, Dark Command
Dark Command only has cooldown of 8 sec so i threw some extra on the end there just in case
im at work u may not want to do the whole copy/paste for that macro - i love spelling errors it seems lol
best idea in this post has got to be macro !Rune Strike to everything u do!! |

| said by NICK79  :best idea in this post has got to be macro !Rune Strike to everything u do!! If you are in raids/heroics, you'll never need it as dps. If you're a tank, I found it helpful to only bind to my RP dump macro:
/cast Frost Strike (or DC)
/cast !Rune Strike
Sometimes I don't want to rune strike. Not often, but rarely I need the RP for something else, and I don't ever want to force myself to use it. |

So all I see is people saying Blood or Unholy but whats wrong with Frost. I am using this build right now »wowdata.getbuffed.com/talentplan···0;58677;
Any suggestions? |

| Basically, the lack of controllable burst is the major drawback of Frost. On shorter fights you'll notice your DPS lags a bit behind the other two specs but anywhere there's AoE damage to be done Frost does extremely well. I personally prefer Frost for the flexible rotation and strong 1v1 and AoE DPS potential. Single target DPS is still top-end raid potential. |

1 edit | I'd actually argue that frost is better on extremely short fights versus trash. Why? For Unholy you have to go through a complete rotation to get enough RP for your Unholy Blight, and it may not be up enough to add significant damage to the trash (I'm thinking in a raid environment where mob groups die in less than 5 seconds).
Whereas with frost all you have to do is:
Crit button + HB + DND + BB and your job is done.
