NEW Venthyr Legendary Insatiable Hunger: When Swarming Mist ends, deal damage to up 5 nearby enemies and heal you for 25% of the damage dealt. The damage is increased by 2% for every 1 Runic Power spent while Swarming Mist is active.

Thrill Seeker - A solid DPS trait in pure single target. Also works great in mythic + since you'll generate stacks more quickly by killing mobs. It's important that you don't stay out of combat for too long since you'd then lose the stacks you generate.

Exacting Preparation - Multiple benefits from this spell. Both the Well Fed and Flask buffs are solid, but it's the weapon enchant effect that's the most important. Our Runeforges are much more powerful than regular weapon enchants, making this ability more potent for Death Knights. It has the drawback of sitting at the end of a path with only a single Potency Conduit, so we do need to compare the strength of the spell versus picking up an extra Potency.

Dauntless Duelist - Solid single target DPS spell. Doesn't scale at all in AoE but is close to Exacting Preparation in pure single target,

Fatal Flaw - Generally a 20% increased critical strike for 10 seconds at the end of Thrill Seeker (assuming your stats are good with crit above versatility). Solid trait that gives a good boost to our secondaries. Unfortunately, it's on a 80 second timer which doesn't align well with any of our cooldowns (in single target). For AoE, the cooldown is reduced sufficiently to bring great value from this trait.

Soothing Shade - A great damage increase when you can make use of it. We love mastery and this spell provides a significant amount of it. However, movement can easily force us out of the umbrella, greatly reducing its effectiveness. This makes the spell less versatile.

Refined Palate - Increasing the effect of your combat potions is a strict DPS increase. However, it doesn't compete with the power of one of our Potency Conduits. Since this spell lies on a path with only a single Potency Conduit, it isn't picked.

Wasteland Propriety - Versatility to both you and your team is a solid boost, both in DPS and survivability.

Party Favors - Effectively another flask in a way. Gives a nice amount of stats but unfortunately not always the stat you are looking for.

Soothing Shade

Superior Tactics - A really strong Trait if you can enable it with interrupting. Generally mostly useful in Mythic+.

Built for War - This ability probably reminds you of the Treacherous Covenant Azerite trait from BFA. It will be a strong DPS increase if you can stay healthy. Somewhat unreliable but overall a good trait.

Battlefield Presence - Flat damage increase that can scale up to 3% with 3 nearby enemies. Overall quite a weak soulbind spell, especially in single target.

Wished they'd make door of shadows an insta-cast. Would be a nice/fun mobility spell.
