bil,
Why the one point in Blood, that point could go in Death Chill or Chill of the Grave

some also proposed a 0/45/26 spec and claimed that with the ghoul, it would do more single target dps than with HB. i doubt it would be a common spec, but wat of it?
since u go a lil more into unholy, i believe DC would scale better. as soon as ur in high end uld 25 gear, with bout 6500+ AP buffed, i would think that DC may out perform FS due to impurity. tho doing so would undeniably loose u alot of aoe potential.

I am not sure losing Merciless combat is even advised. You lose some major dps as a boss drops in health. It's not as good as kill shot, but alot of bosses have short enrage timers, and the faster you can drop them the better. Losing 1 point from Killing Machine and putting it in Chill of the Grave. Subversion is nice, but if you become runic starved, I am not sure it would be good, plus if you look at the basics, you would lose 1 FS for 6 percent increased critical strike chance to Obliterate and blood strike.

That's just it though, I'm not convinced MC really IS a major dps boost.
Just looking at my previous numbers, assuming 200,000 in the last 35% of a fight, if damage output remains constant than total damage is 571,428.
With 2/2 MC, lets say 50% of your damage output of the last 35% is effected. You would gain 12,000 damage. That equates to a 1.36% total DPS boost for the fight. Even if ALL (which, of course, it isn't) of your damage was effected by MC, that's a 2.62% DPS boost.
If you move those points to Chill of the Grave, every 6.4 HB/Oblit you get an extra Frost Strike. I think the extra FS's more than make up the damage from MC.
For overall damage output, my money is on a Chill of the Grave/Subversion combo.
Except you aren't gaining an extra FS. The difference is you gain free dps. It's not costing you any runes or a GCD. Where are you gaining the extra GCD for the additional FS? Take a five minute fight by taking one point out of KM and getting rid of subversion you gain the extra runic power and lose 3 percent extra crit chance, but gain an increase in total dps of 2.62 percent that's a huge dps boost for just 2 points. Remember BcB and Necro at the moment are boosts of approximatly 1 percent or even less in dps for DW, but in the upcoming patch they are a boost of 1 percent per point spent. And that's considered a huge upgrade, now considering this. a close to 3 percent increase in dps for a short period of time is a huge loss of dps.
For a 3 percent chance to gain a crit on one of our attacks and a bonus of 2.5 runic power that you may not have the ability to spend. Did you suddenly gain some extra GCD's that I missed? I am for chill of the grave, but don't see subversion being anywhere close to as good as Merciless combat.

Dualwield Frost Strike/Ghoul Build
Disease clipping will occur, but with the extended duration not as much.
Maximizes using OB.

Excellent point, 51 I believe is the minimun number of points in Frost to be considered viable DW.
