Hello,
How do you mean?
If you are referring to the DW unholy with Frost sub then no.
If on the other hand you mean the recently revamped DW frost with either Blood or unholy Sub then yes.
Please help us help you.

PS Read the stickies. (Always wanted to get to say that)

Ok. I'll try to explain this....
DW Frost is a much more technical and challenge rotation when compared to Unholy or Blood. Similar to Druid feral DPS, Blizzard wants to reward those who are willing to take on the challenge by offering a spec
with the potential
to have the very highest DPS. If a player is unwilling or unable to manage the "rotation" then that potential is gone and they would benefit more from Blood or Unholy. Those two are still viable (however lower potential) and are more forgiving.
TL:DR version : Just cuz you spec dw and /roll on Frost Giants Cleaver 2x don't make you gud mdeeps.

doesn't dw stack with ArP now?(obliterate)
Yes. Melee swings, Obliterate, Blood-caked Blood procs, PS, and BS are affected by ArP, which is easily 60% - 80% of your damage on a single target fight. Of course the abilities used during AOE (BB, HB, D&D) are not, so manage those KM/RIMES correctly.
@Malghanis: You are in fact incorrect. It
IS
in fact proven. Post 3.3.3 DW frost has overtaken any other DK dsp spec in a vacuum. If you don't believe me or anyone else, that is fine. Go to a sim and try it out yourself with BiS gear for each spec. Of course these are sim values and doesn't represent natural DPS, but the fact remains it HAS overtaken Unholy. That said, I'm a firm believer that your DPS woud be better using a spec you enjoy over a spec that has numbers.
