You still arent yellow hit capped, might be good to gem or enchant for that, and since a majority of the gear you have has low amounts of hit (ToC and the conquest gear don't really offer too much of the stat) You'll probably want to stay blood for now until gear with more hit comes along, making it easier to reach the hit requirement of DW.

Actually DW frost needs even less hit rating than 2h specs thank to

Are you serious? Dual Wield needs 27% hit (correct me if I'm wrong), which is a lot more than 2h 8%.

That 27% hit cap is for white melée hits ain't it? That ones impossible to reach.

Exactly as yarai said, which (to the OP) at your current gear (mostly ToC/emblem junk) you wont be able to easily reach the spell hit cap as easily as yellow strike for blood(its the only real requirement for blood dps). So blood would be optimal for you.

It's not impossible to reach, but to do so you will ends up wasting every gem slot/enchants for +hit that your DPS is worse than if you'd stay at lower hit and use those slots/enchants for something else.
Ya sorry i mean its a really bad idea to even try to reach it

You don't need more than 4-5% hit for dw. 3% from talents, 1% from dranei buff, 3% from shadow priests (I think it's that class i forget) puts you well above the 8% cap. Going any higher than 8% only affects spells, which for frost constitutes less than 10% of your overall damage (icy touch never gets used after app of diseases, and HB is your only other real spell)
You actually need less%hit for DW than you do 2h for a dk, since sacraficing so str/arp for a little more white damage is not effective.
Oh and let's not forget virulence 3% spell hit chance, which is a useful offspec filler from the unyholy tree.
Oh and if you seek to challenge my opinion, go look up elitistjerks.com and look up "revenge of the offhand, frost dw dps" and you'll see what I mean.
haha, the 3 percent from Shadow priest is spell hit not melee ;p. and going over 8 percent also affects white damage/necrosis/bcb. The 8 percent is melee specials hit cap.

Gnomes throw poop, I read it on elitistjerks.com "revenge of the fecal ninja stars" if you seek to challenge my opinion, Eleazer.

quick side question.
i currently have 43% arpen +10% from talents = 53% arpen. +grimtoll procs=~100% ~4.5k AP unbuffed as blood.
I'm wondering if i should go DW frost in 3.2.2 since arpen nerfs and stuff.
i feel like i got screwed over by stackign wayy too much arpen.... even tho i dont gem for them.
