Thanks for pointing that out. I changed it to reflect the proper Rime. I really don't like it, but elitistjerks.com has it posted and I could see the dps benefit of it if your raid group was correct.

Just wanted to ask here what people thought of the spec im using as i havnt seen any other builds like it so far.
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#jfV00hZG0exAbckf0cuzAoc:aksMVm
.
Using Unholy Presence and slow/slow weps and managing to pull 3k+ on the heroic dummy, though havnt tested properly yet. Just wanted to see what other people thought about it.
My rotation is:
IT - OB - BS - BS - FS
IT - OB - OB - BS - FS.....

The thing regarding DW is just doesn't work that well with blood compared with Unholy. The only reason to ever go blood as DW, is to increase your AP+Crit making it easiere to find pugs. But that really is a thin reason.

I'm confused over the suggested use of Glyph of Blood Strike. I see not only here that it is possibly recommended but I've noticed players on my realm using this glyph post-3.2. Could someone explain how our targets are getting snared to begin with? Is it our snare, party member's? Can raid bosses even be snared? What's this glyph all about for Frost DPS?

For most Frost DW builds, there isn't really a solid choice for a third major glyph. The glyph works if you have a feral druid (Infected Wounds) or an FFB mage somewhere.
Indeed. I'm currently using the IT glyph, but was thinking there might be better glyphs.
Spec:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#jcZG0exAbczf0chzAofM0hx
Rotation:
IT-PS-OB-BS-BS
OB-OB-OB
Without IT glyph:125rp / 32 = 3,90625
With IT Glyph: 135rp / 32 = 4,21875
This is over 20sec.
Let's say the fight is 200sec.
1250 / 32 = 39,0625 FS
1350 / 32 = 42,1875 FS
So IT glyph gives about a extra FS each third rotation.
Rawr says it gives me an 46dps increase. My math says 37,36... dps increase using the numbers last night from Sarth.
Glyph of the Ghoul gives me an 28dps increase, but this relies on that the ghoul doesn't die.
Glyph of Plague Strike gives me an 17dps increase.
(Numbers from Rawr v2.2.12)
Sadly blood strike doesn't work with Rawr right now. But if i take my dps from last night on Sarth, Glyph of Blood Strike is a 20,7576dps increase.
Though i wish i had some better weapons then
Rune-Etched Nightblade
x2
Unless i've done something terrible wrong or completelly missed something. It seems for me that the IT glyph actually is the best third glyph?

I've been running with the old single disease 2H frost rotation, using Glyph of HB, going deep blood instead on unholy.
This
is the spec I've been playing around with and I've managed to get 4.5k dps on a OS 25+1 run is
this
gear. This is higher than I have before with using a 2H (Ironsoul).
Are there any glaring issues with this spec, and why is it not viable anymore?
It gives great RP generation along with more crit.
I run a priority system that is the same as the old 2H frost priority set up.
I AM DWing!

Ah ok, so it's not something I should concern myself with as a Heroic 5man runner. Thanks.

every time i read a thread about 3.2 frost DW, the specs shown are always frost/unholy ones. why noone takes care about a
15/53/3
spec?
i dont get the point on maximizing the white dps trhough necrosis/bcb (on 450hit u will still doing 10% white dmg miss, so its a waste imo) instead of maximizing the rp generation, and crit chance on obliterate and frost strike, wich always should be doing the highest % of ur DPS, more in DW when u can hit with both ur weapons
would like some numbers to be shown proving that unholy talents are better than blood talents, and not just theorycrafting but real live ones, or "OMFG a guy from ensidia has spell gems on his warrior @LOL lets copy"
