[:1]What are some effective mouse over macros for a pvp frost dk? I read the sticky, but I did not see where it mentioned mouse over macros, only focus ones.
Thanks in Advance!
Strangulate, Death Grip, and Dark Simulacrum are a few good ones. Basically any focus macro is a good mouse over macro.

Blood vs frost Question.
[:1]Is DW frost a really good pvp spec? I seem to have problems with Blood DK's in arena, and I seem to not be able to get a Blood spec that does there dps.
Blood in PvP is only meant for flag carrying and annoying people. 2h frost is better for arena (Necrotic Strike is main ability which is not on ToT) and dw frost is better for rbg's (higher burst than 2h with Obliterate).
The only way a blood dk does effective damage is through being trained to gain vengeance, then popping trinket, dancing rune weapon, spamming some deathstrikes/heartstrikes into you, empowered rune weapon, and repeat. But anyone with a brain will just stay off you and kite you, then kill you last when they roflstomp your teammates.

Blood PvP?
[:1]I'm looking to Blood now for PvP, for increased survivability, and i want to be a FC.
So, is there a blood PvP guide for me to turn to? As well as a blood build?
BTW, which weapon should i use? 2H or DW? Axe, Mace or Sword?
What stats should i go for as Blood?
For guides, I don't know, but I can relate my experiences as an rbg flag carrier.
For builds you really can't go wrong, just make sure you get all your key defensive talents, improved DS, and lichbourne from frost.
Do NOT DW. You gain nothing from DW'ing and in fact take a massive hit penalty and as a blood flag carrier, missing death strikes will kill you.
Stat wise I stack as much resilience as I can (I think I'm in my frost build atm on armory). For resil socket bonuses I throw in str/resil or stam/resil gems , either or will work. I personally reforge, after getting 5% hit, as much mastery as I can. With my build I have a 100% blood shield. The way I see it, the more damage you can absorb, the more clutch you'll be when dps is focusing you down at the same time as the enemy flag carrier.
Also, go with swordbreaking for your runeforging. Good rogues will do a dismantle rotation on you and a disarmed blood DK is a walking target dummy since DS spam is all that keeps you up and mitigates damage.
Be aware of your positioning as well when an enemy carrier is getting beat on. You're main weakness is your mobility....you have none to speak of. Meaning if you're 30 yards from your flag and it gets returned, you might as well be on the freaking moon and you're only hope your teammates can fearbomb all the dps that is holding you up.
Glyph Vampiric blood and save it for lichbourne self healing, I've had 70k heal crits in the past with that so it becomes a 2 minute lay on hands.
Melee heavy teams will hate your guts, caster teams will have an easier time in between ams cooldowns which is why I'd reccommend farming the Mirror Of Broken Images off of tol barad. The trinket has lots of mastery which is good for you and the use function boosts your resistances up to give you a 40% reduction in magic damage for those shatter combos when ams is down.
That's all I can think off on the top of my head. I'm on the road driving across country atm, in a hotel, after a 13 hour stretch, so I'll swing by here later and add more stuff. If you got a question, post it here and I'll get to it when I can (sometime tomorrow I hope).
Lol, thanks! That really helped!
