With the changes to the Icy Touch glyph. Is it advisable to take that over the Pestilence glyph?
The IT Glyph is a major and the Pestilence Glyph is a minor.
Now if you meant GoDisease, that would be a different story.

The IT is superior to the Disease Gylph on single targets as the disease glyph no longer * rolls * diseases, you also lose out on keeping IIT up if that is your job to do so.
The IIT glyph replaces glyph of Disease.

After looking EJ's new Frost DPS thread for 3.3, why for F's sake is EJ saying to macro !Rune Strike with our abilities as Frost DPS? I'm confused and unless I missed a change with Rune Strike, it's a tanking ability even more so now than before. Right?
Yes it is and as dps in a perfect world you should never have an opportunity to use it.
But there are a lot of fights in which small adds can attack you (think scarabs on Anub) so you might as well take the bonus damage when you can get it. It shouldn't happen often and it is in no way important but there also is no harm (since you die when you pull aggro from a boss the additional aggro from RS won't really change anything).
One thing I always wondered about:
All DW guides say FC/RI enchants should go on MH/OH.
What's the point on putting FC on the MH? It's only a proc and the OH hits exactly as often as the MH, right? So having FC on the OH should give exactly the same uptime, having it on the MH just seems pointless.
RI on the other hand has a debuff (which is the main reason to use it) and a very small direct dps increase. The dps increase is only minor but wouldn't it make sense to have it on the MH (which usually is better) then? And if RI is on the OH, will the 2% extra weapon damage as frost damage also be lowered by the OH penalty or is weapon base damage taken for that?

Hi,
Do Sigil of the Hanged Man really worth to spend 30 emblems of frost?
I'm a DW frost DK and i use presently Sigil of the Awareness.
Thanks
No, its only slightly better than SoV and it has a ramp time.

Megavolt's question has been unanswered as of yet:
"One thing I always wondered about:

Answers?

Ok so would frost dw be a good lvling spec over blood 2h? Also are there any drawbacks that somethings happen while lvling in this spec?

It's largely dependant on your runic power situation. The fear is without IT Glyphs runic power generation you will be RP starved in a heavy movement fight. 2/3 BcB is not very good, but it's better than 2/3 subversion by ICC levels, and if you are RP starved than it works better if you aren't than 53/18 is still best.
Having said that, I am going to update this thread one final time, but am giving up on my dk. My druid has become my main raid played class, and I rarely play my dk at all. I disliked all the new changes to the class, and the dk's on my server have such a horrible reputation that it is near impossible to pug a raid as a dk now. (We have dk's who reply that they are ranged dps or casters, some come to raids specced as tank but wanting to dps. Trust me Emerald Dream is filled with the worst dk's you can find. Though my guild has three elite raiding dk's. 1 blood/1 unholy/1 that can't make up his mind.
I will update this shortly within the next couple days.

this
. And dw frost will be the best dps spec again... 45% unbuffed hast and +4% str? Hell yeah!
