How in the world are you using rune strike for dps? Read the thread in the stickies under Frost dps, but your rotation is just brutal.
Rune strike is for tanking only and if you are getting rune strike procs it means you are one of those (idiot) dps people who after getting to 80 has failed to realize that standing in front of a target is for tanks, and standing behind a target is for dps.
So the reason no one responds is because we figure if you can't wrap your head around the most basic of dps principles than telling you anything more is just too difficult :P.
Considering also after looking at your specs that you essential dual tank specced, you aren't specced into imp Icy talons and are missing several key dps additions, glyphed Unbreakable armor for some odd reason, use death strike more than blood strike, actually used plague strike and icy touch, and hardly used obliterate at all, I would say giving all those errors in your talents/rotations/glyphs that you are doing 2.5k dps is pretty solid.
Now, if you want to dps you have to spec it, use actual dps rotations, and glyphs. Why do you even use death coil, death strike, plague strike?
READ THE HELPFUL THREADS STICKY.
Do that and it will help you.

Seriously? I said i was an offtank, so that might explain being hit by bosses and trash.. the rest of your post is also ignored because you are rude and seem to be ignorant of the many specs out there for DK's and in particular the one using Glyph of Howling Blast (and the rotation that comes with it)..
JimC
Thank you for your comments, I see your point.. I think I am expecting too uch out of Naxx 10.
That really is what I needed to know.. I do OT stuff on a regular basis and although i would lke to go full dps, i cannot in my current guild config. So i use a dual tank spec, only as i experiment with single target kills (such as bosses) which is why I have a 2nd spec of blood .. (it was just for experimenting)
So far I keep coming back to frost to OT and pull some decent dps to help out my guild as they are not all passing even 1500 dps yet in these runs. I think this is why I am so concerned about hitting 3k, to help everyone out till they get better.
Appreciate your post.
I am very aware and if you would have taken the time to read the helpful thread stickies on dk dps specs you would come to see that in Frost 2h DPS I have extensive experience and knowledge in the HB single disease rotation. Lynri and I have been championing that rotation and build for some time. There are not multiple versions of specs there are three
the HB glyph spec with Virulence
the HB Glyph spec with DRM
The Machine Gun IT spec
Those are the three essential frost dps specs. If you want to dps frost those are three to go for, if you want to tank as frost you are free to spec the way you are. To rip someone without actually looking at their armory to see that they are also a frost tank is ignorant. However you asked about doing dps, but had no dps spec thereby my response is easily dictated by your post. Read the stickies
The HB rotation is so easy you ready, here it is.
Multiple targets - though BB is statistically less dps than Blood strike
HB/OB/BB/BB/FS
OB/OB/HB/BB/FS spam
Single target
HB/OB/BS/BS/FS spam
OB/OB/OB/BS/FS spam
FS when KM procs HB when Rime does
Now you notice something on multiple targets I still used Oblit. Nowhere do you see Plague strike, Death strike, Icy Touch, or Death Coil. Why because those are wastes of dps.
3k dps in Naxx 10 is easy. I was pushing 3.6k in Naxx 10 as
17/51/3
HB rotation still my favorite spec. In ulduar I am unholy because we have a raiding enhance shaman. Your inability to see beyond what you want is why I was blunt in my criticism. You asked for dps tips, and then stated you used Rune strike, which is gimpy.
If you are an OT than have a dps spec so you can dps when needed. I pull about 2k dps in pure tank spec, when offtanking or Main tanking Naxx. However when I am not tanking I am in a dps spec/gear/rotation which conveniently is the same as the tanking rotation.
Now you can get upset, but then you thanked JimC who simply repeated what I told you. If you are going to post something that is easily covered by readign the Helpful Threads stickies than bump your post by asking why no one responded, than don't take offense when someone becomes critical of your build, rotation, glyphing, and gear choice when they are just plain bad, and your answers have been answered and are easily accessible by you, if you would have taken the time to look it up.

You either DPS, or tank. If you're tanking, DPS meters mean nothing. If you're DPSing, you shouldn't be using Rune Strike (as Elaezer said) at all, and you should work on a rotation that is dependent on the spec.
That being said, you've got two tank specs. You're going to have a really tough time hitting 3K with either of those specs in 10-man content if the gear currently on your armory page is your DPS gear. You've got a mix of tanking and DPS plate, which doesn't do any benefit to either role.
Spec and gear for the role, play the role, and then ignore the rest. If your job is DPS, don't bother trying to top threat meters. If your job is tanking, forget about topping the DPS meters (because it won't happen).

Skenagle, I did not call you an idiot. I simply stated that if you are getting rune strikes as dps than you are one of the idiot dps people who dps from the front. If you are a tank than you know what I mean and they probably annoy you as well.
Perhaps it read rather rudely, and i was being rather arrogant, because I ran into a guy doing this the other day who kept ticking me off, and his response why would they give me rune strike if I wasn't supposed to use it.

Just forget about doing good dps while tanking...
Use cooldown to save yourself, not letting dps to over-taunt, that's what a tank should do. DPS? What's that.
