Your current arpen is a little low for blood I think so frost certainly might be the better option, and there isn't a dropoff in ilvl for the DW weapon choices from your current weapon. You could probably still make due as that. Are you sure the scourge strike change is really that painful for your dps? Which nerf are you talking about? How it does a portion physical now, or the hotfix that the shadow portion cannot crit anymore?

I was talking about the hotfix nerf. I know it was needed but to me it was a little extreme. And yes it has been painful to my dps. on dummies in 3.2.2 (yes I know not seriously accurate) my dps was 3.7-3.8k self buffed. Now its in the range of 3.4-3.6k.

I may be wrong since I've never rolled Unholy myself, but with the SS change, you might also want to try to spec into Reaping for the death runes to get off a chain of SS. That might change your dps output.

Acording to EJ the spec for people without t10 or ICC gear is the one i have w/o reaping. Im guessing 1SS is a little better than 2BS at my current gear level which is why reaping is not taken.

I just read that page, and the comments are confusing for the spec without reaping. It says that SS should make up the majority of your damage, so I don't see why you wouldn't spec reaping to get more SS's. Maybe another unholy could explain better, but the logic of it escapes me.

So should I stay unholy or switch to something else?
