Unholy DPS

I haven't always been an Unholy DK. Truth be told, i actually used to hate it. I levelled in frost, and then dps'd in blood after dinging 80. I only went Unholy a couple months back for the perma-ghoul, and the raid buff...but after doing so, I can't imagine going back.

Unholy has some major advantages in PvE DPS. Perma-ghoul, shadow damage, and the scaling is ridiculous after 3.1--we actually got buffed. And, until the frost tree gets a makeover, Unholy spec has been tested to be the highest DPS output over Blood (but only slightly).


The Spec: 12/0/59

Major Glyphs: Glyph of Ghoul, Scourge Strike, Dark Death
Minor Glyphs: Horn or Winter, Raise Dead, Pestilence

Rotation:
(1) IT-PS-BS-BS-SS- RP (Runic Pwr Dump) UB/DC
(2) SS-SS-SS- RP(DCx2)

Unholy is about a proiority list of attacks. Diseases should be up always. Unholy Blight should be refreshed every 20 seconds, and if using an attack will put you over the Runic power cap, fire off a Death Coil first.

Now, because SS glyph can refresh diseases, a third rotation is possible
(1A) SS-BS-BS-SS - RP

If you're having problems keeping track of diseases, I recommend Runewatch... =)

Remember: Keep diseases tickin, and don't go over RP. /FTW


*Side Note*
Currently, T7.5 is best in slot for Unholy... that may change with updates, but for now, keep that 4pc bonus.
