It's still a nearly 20% buff to Death Coil, so I'd say to recount a fight without UA and determine how much DPS you're getting with death coil, and see what 20% of that amounts to (do it in absolute DPS numbers, and not percent... I think that's an easier measuring tool)
I think people place talent points because they "feel good" a lot of the time and don't actually look at how much a single talent point affects DPS.
For example, I guarantee that the 1 point in UA adds at least the same or more DPS than 1 point in Ravenous Dead, yet that's seen as a "OMG MUST GET THIS TALENT!" And it certainly beats out 1 point in Necrosis.

I did mean UB, yes... but I did say "nearly" because of the uptime.
If we're talking about boss fights (which is all that really matters for this discussion), There will maybe be 2 or 3 DC's at the most which do not run their course in any fight.
Optimally, 3 rotations per minute with 3-4 DC's per rotation, so 45-60 Death Coils per 5 minute boss fight.
So less than 10% of your DC's will do less than full damage. I think saying "nearly 20%" is fair.
Since Unholy Blight does not have a stacking component then whenever you Death Coil again you overwrite the rest of the damage so. .
Since when did UB not stack? It was supposed to function like a mage's ignite where they all run their entire length?

Look at the last comment with the screenshot, seems like it stacks.
It shows death coil ticks 3 seconds apart doing more damage.

Not really, since the DoT lasts 10 seconds, you're most likely going to firing off a death coil more than every 10 seconds
They stack like Ignite, so you don't overwrite your UB.

I don't understand why people say that UB procs stack...
Anyway, as Unholy, UB makes up the absolute least part of my DPS, just under Blood-Caked Blade. If you're unholy, go ahead and take it because there's not really much else to take that's actually a dps boost, but, as mentioned earlier, do NOT take it if you are frost or blood.
