5 minutes on the boss level target dummy, used ghoul and army of the dead
came up with around 2200 dps , then i realized i was in wrong presence, so im thinking maybe 2300 or so dps?

I've spent my whole sunday to test out some specs, mostly DW (0/32/39, 0/33/38, 10/36/25) along your fourth spec (RSGTimmeh) and the fifth rotation (revamped Thirtytimes').

See the link in my signature for my stuff (Betrayer of Humanity and 4/5 T7.5 if I come to swap my gear…) + Glyphs of OB, IT and FS. On the regular dummy, I've done ±2.8k dps (quite exactly 2m damage done). Although the numbers are quite average, I've realized at the end of the test that I forgot to refresh Horn of Winter since I was too concentrated on the rotation :( Oh boy, I feel so dumb about that…

That said, it's still well under my previous favorite DW spec (3.6k on the regular dummy). Eventhough I admit I like to be the first DPS on quite every encounter (which will be impossible when the next patch come out), what I like the most about this particular DW spec (0/33/38) is the gameplay: quick and click-heavy. Unholy presence and one-handers allow me to go under the 1.5sec and 0.8 sec swing times while in combat, thus maximizing the number of procs (and it does proc a lot!).

When testing the two-hander frost spec, I had only ±10 Rime procs -_-

Well, that said, it still feels way better (imo) than an UH spec, which I really can't stand, eventhough the SS numbers are pretty awesome. The whole UB gameplay does not fit my way of playing DK.

I'm sorry for derailing your thread, especially the part on DW, which most of you don't care about (too common). I hope I could bring something positive, so should you have any question about the rotation, the stuff, the spec, the feeling or anything (on 2H Frost), just ask :)

Aazed,

Since you are having almost same gear as me (except for Betrayer, which I haven't got), try it again using Unholy Presence + Rune of Razorice.

Well, I've respecc'ed 8 times since Sunday and I'm running out of gold for now -_-

Though, for the Patchwerk Achievement we are going to try Wednesday, I've respecc'ed Blood (51/13/17) and I've noticed that I do a lot more DPS in Unholy Presence than in Blood Presence. To be honest, it goes even at nearly two million damages, though I begin a 7k DPS in UP whereas I begin at 2k in BP. UP fits my needs for quick & reactive gameplay: reduced GCD and improved movement speed make me feel a lot more useful than swinging every 3 seconds and an half.

Therefore, I guess I am accounting to what you noticed, Thirtytimes: UP may be well superior to BP, evenmore if combined with the Rune of Razorice. (That's a 300 DPS increase on a DW spec, though I've both RR and RFC then.)

Aazed,

I have no idea how you can achieve 7k dps in Blood (unless you do the Dancing Rune Weapon + Hysteria to get two Hysteria on yourself).

Oh well, when I say “I begin with”, I really mean in the first 30 seconds or so. Though I'm amazed at how much different the numbers are sometimes: I mean, sometimes I pull 4.4k dps on the dummy, the other time only 2.8k with the exact same rotation… Well, I guess something is wrong with my hands and fingers :]

I'm currently parsing the logs to have correct numbers.
