Turn off Gnaw, leave pet on Defensive, macro /cast Claw to your strike abilities. Be sure to conserve stacks of SI between pulls.

but isn't claw on autocast? what is the purpose of specifically binding it to the strikes?
The problem with claw is that even with autocast, it doesn't cast as often as it should. That's why it gets macro'd until that gets fixed.

Yeah, this, while it's supposedly on auto-attack it seems that undeath has a side effect of very bad ADD accounting for why ghoul's often forget to use it when they can and the huge amount of deathtards, not to mention the countless silly plans the Scourge makes. The best macro I've seen is:
#showtooltip Scourge Strike
/cast
This way it will make sure your ghoul is attacking it's current target with it, and not running around when you want it to stay on one guy.

Obviously, don't turn off Gnaw for PvP. As said, make the
#showtooltip Scourge Strike
/cast [] Claw
/cast Scourge Strike
macro for SS, PS, FS, and DS. My dps has increased dramatically through this, and has made me unstoppable in PvP.
Edit: Stay clear of DW Unholy. It doesn't work. Period.

Actually, in PvP you would want it turned off so that you can time it for interrupting and well-used stuns. Don't want him using it willy nilly.
Edit: Stay clear of DW Unholy. It doesn't work. Period.
Not after next patch it won't, and not for PvP, but otherwise that's crap, it works fine for now.

Even now it's sub-optimal until you get BiS raid gear. Since I'm pretty sure no-one has cleared heroics yet, 2h should still be better.
Para has actually :P.
It's very optimal before you get BiS gear, it's just not the best. In fact, right after 2hand Unholy it's neck and neck with DW Frost.
