Okay so it's two, but I considered DC a filler for 2h anyways 12/51/08 wasnt' good here and it won't be good there.
The problem you will find with continued 2h dps is you don't get as many FS as before because the rotation becomes tighter, and HB fell completely off my cycle all together which made me cringe. HB is gone, trust me there is no room in the cycle even with Epidemic.
Single disease is so much more inefficient and the dps is much lower than Dual Disease. OB/BS both get better. So your cycle would end up
IT/PS/OB/BS/BS/FS
and then you are back to normal no more IT spam and no more HB unless you want to toss an HB out and lose an OB plus you will find that DW's runic generation is as good as yours.

Lynri,
Is a solid dps, but he is still trying to catch up to me ;p. It's okay lynri we know you are jealous of my pvp cloak and wickedly awesome
Colossal Skull-Clad Cleaver
. Also my totally cool 14 strength gemming gives him serious jealousy issues :P
I have yet to do Ulduar though, but that has more to do with me not being a guild lol, and that people pugging it want to see achievements over actual things that matter.

Alva,
You are what I like to call gear stalled. You are fine where you are at, but until you get better gear there is nothing you can do. I would change the gemming of your belt to strength and stam. Also your expertise and crit are pretty low (probably gear issues) So you will end up stalling alot on your dps?
Keep working on it and eventually you will gain the dps back. The problem you probably ran into was a gain in AP, but a loss of crit and expertise when you got gear improvements, that simply stalls you. Relax, keep working on it pretty soon you will be moving along again.
BTW, Lynri, check out my gear now :P. I am pushing 4.5k now in 25 mans lol, and 3.3k in 10 mans when I try. Still wielding the Sweet Colossal Skull Cleaver from HHoL. In my 25 man's guys are can't believe I do the dps I do with that weapon, while they do less with Ironsoul. I will say this, the guild I am in is slightly misguided in that they value dps over damage done, but I don't argue, and continue to dominate on mob pulls, and being in top 6 in Boss fights.
I have noticed boss fights I lose out to Blood DK's/Rogues/Mages/Feral Druids/Locks. Other than that I can hold my own.

Bio and Eleazer, thanks for your help, probably you're right and part of the problem is my low crit and expertise. I'll change the belt gemming to +crit/expertise and stam while I try to get better gear.
Another funny thing is that now my obliterate hits harder than my frost strike and gets a higher overall damage done...part of my stalling i guess...
Thanks again for the help
Alva, don't gem crit and expertise. Expertise you could enchant it, but it's not really worth it. The reason your OB is hitting harder is that your crit is low enough where you get more crits with it. FS will eventually take over once your KM procs begin to happen regularly. Are you spamming FS during runic dumps or are you using your Rune dumps for other uses? Are you reapplying HoW to gain some extra RP?
