I've found the 0/44/27 build to be superior in almost every situation. If you want to use it as a DW build, you'll need a slow main-hand weapon with FC as rune, and a fast off-hand weapon with either CG or RI as rune, depending on your raid comp.
As far as the 0/32/39 or 0/33/38 build goes, imo there really isn't much benefit in the few extra Unholy talents you can take over 0/44/27. Desecration is horrible. HORRIBLE. I can't stress this enough. How often, in a boss, is the boss just going to stand there, waiting for you to hit him, within your little unholy circle of evilness? Not often. So you're spending 3-5 points on an ability that will benefit you under 50% of the time on a typical boss fight.
The only worthwhile deep Unholy talents you can take are Night of the Dead and Bone Shield. So, passive AoE resistance for your Ghoul, and +2% damage from having Bone Shield up. Like I said, Desecration isn't going to really benefit you in most fights, so really you're only getting a 2% increase in damage with the 0/32/39.
With 0/44/27, you get Guile of Gorefiend, giving you a whopping 45% bonus to your HB, OB, BS, and FS crits. Against 2% from Bone Armor? Clear winner is GoG. You also pick up Frost Strike, and even with a (slow)1h, Frost Strike is going to hit and crit a lot harder than Death Coil.
One thing, unless you're dead set on using a DW build, it's been demonstrated that with the change to Killing Machine, 0/44/27 actually functions better as a 2h build. Reason being is that you use Frost Strike a lot, which is based on your weapons damage and speed, so with a 2h your Frost Strike crits are going to be massive.
If you don't already, pick up the Icy Touch sigil from Grizzly Hills, and take Glyphs of Ict Touch, Frost Strike, and whatever you want for 3rd glyph. Ghoul, Plague Strike, or OB if you go 2h style(OB you won't really use except as a backup attack, but it's good to have for fights with a lot of magic/frost res)
