Build discussion

[benseac]

So, I didn't do much research into the deathknight before I made mine so I'm not exactly sure what is the best build for soloing, etc. Currently, my DK is heavy into the frost tree with a few points in blood. I'd post what it is exactly but, alas, the armory doesn't have her in it yet.

What are builds you've seen, toyed with, etc.?

From my experience, my interpretation of the builds are more on style now than role like we're used to. Frost seemd to feel as the great CC, tanking, and "you can't kill me, nyah!" role.

Blood was single target and burst damage, group/raid buffing, and longevity by self healing. This was the most fun to me, especially with as much runic power as I was getting. I actually dropped Scent of Blood from the 2nd tier of Blood because I was making too much runic power and it was going to waste, unless I hosed my rotation.

Unholy was much more AOE and pet based when the focus fire was needed. It was alot like a roller coaster with your health, it'd drop quickly as you gathered the mobs but as your diseases got spread around and your AOE kicked in, it regen'd very quickly while in blood presence (think self-only auras)

I went with blood tree and a spec of http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=jfVMqzcIcf0xzN from the starting area, and aiming at http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=jfVMqzcIcf0xzAZZf0bhxfo for when I'm at level 80 for just soloing and some 5-man groups.

With a regular rotation of icy touch, plague strike, blood strike (later heart strike)x2, then either obliterate or death strike. Finally death coil, and I would just rip through things like mad with no down time unless I pulled a bunch of mobs at once.
