From the latest PTR testing, is DW frost outdoing 2H blood for Raiding?

Aegi, Fast weapons are very bad to get into. Slow/Slow is significantly better and a deep Frost with Unholy sub is significantly better than Blood. Necrosis and BcB tend to scale better with DW than they did with 2h.

These
IMO, Nice and slow, with crit AP and hit on them
Here's a
list
of all the one handers that a DK can use. Ignoring caster and Tank weapons. (IL 187 - 200)
For your viewing convince.
Edit: Argent Tourney items managed to elude my list. Thanks goes to sourceofevil for finding better weapons.
Better weapons:
Alli
Horde
50 Champion's seals for a pair
i find this
list
to be more usefull for the thread as far as listing goes.
now are the specials under the same %hit nescessary as white hits or do they still follow the 8% rule we are so familiar with in 2h frost dps? if they are still at 8% it would be well to note until you have closer to the nessecary amount of hit rating for the white hits subspec blood will outdo subspec unholy, due to lack of your autoswing hit procs. also due to this, FC could outdo RI for offhand because of the stacks dropping because of repeated misses, unless the mechanics changed enough where this would not be able to happen so long as you have ~8%hit.
Your list is better as it factors in Slow/Slow and not fast weapons. 8 percent is special hit cap, and is mandatory anything after 17 percent spell hit cap is generally wasted.

Those could be the best 1h weapons before raiding.
Tho Grasscutter and Fang are fast one :(, the rest is Slow, just what is needed.
Reaper and Bonecrusher are the top 2

53/18 scales better at high end gear, from what I have read. Granted I am using
3/53/15
. I was pleasently surprised at how easy the dps scaled. Ulduar 25 geared Blood dk was only doing around 500 dps more than me on boss fights in the new 10 man. I smell a nerf coming since with Naxx 25 gear and pre-raid 1h's I was just behind the Uld 25 geared group, by only about 500 dps. Also Necrosis was much better live than it was in PTR. It was around 4 percent of my total dps which was amazing. RI is huge on boss fights on non-boss fights it's just brutal. I don't have BCB, wish I did though, couldn't figure out how to get it if I wanted Ob
Oblit was critting almost 70 percent of the time. FS isn't as bad as we assumed.

Sorry if this has been stated, i just looked through this thread and am a little confused on the hit for dw, should we still be going for around 262/263 hit rating?

I'm a little lost so far but I've narrowed things down to these two specs:
3/53/15
and
0/53/18
.
From what I have gathered from this thread and EJ I think I am on the right track with these builds but I could use some clarification. What I am confused about is whether or not to take Imp Icy Talons and then Subversion vs Blood-Caked Blade and Glyph of Icy Touch vs Glyph of Disease.
I think I am going to be selfish and worry about my DPS so not taking IIT
may already be my answer for that. I hope that when I get to more serious raiding it will not matter. I'm going to try and test these things but I am not doing many raids at the moment.
PS - My gear is all over the place at the moment so pay no attention to it. I know I still need better 1H weapons and hit rating to say the least.
Don't forget about the last sentence in IIT. A 5% haste increase at all times. Even if you are being selfish about your own DPS and not worried about keeping your raid's haste up, that's still a nice buff for yourself at the cost of 1 point. Just something to consider.

Yes, the builds are links to the old ptr site, and need to be updated. But rather than update it I am going to create a whole new thread once I do a bit more research and get my explanations a bit clearer.
