10m H Beth Spiderling duty setup

Anyone else got this job?
atm i seriously dont have too much trouble doing the job, every now and then there will be like 2 spiderlings with minimal life that i cant finish before i have to truck it to the next position.

i was just curious to peoples set ups

frost/unholy presence?
stack alittle mastery over haste?
icy touch glyph(currently ) /vs obliterate glyph (i want to keep obliterate glyph for last phase)

Starting playing my dk

Im in search for he best add on to manage runes, any chance people can link some of their own ui with the add on they are using?
I cannot manage my runes without Yury's RuneDisplay. It's quite pleasant to look at. You can make it flat, rainbow-shaped or smiley-face-shaped. Since it's beneath my toon, I go with smiley-face shaped. Each rune gets a ticking number countdown after it's been consumed. When a consumed rune comes off cooldown because of Runic Empowerment, it becomes very vivid for a few seconds so that your eyes are drawn to it. Ultimately, nobody should be trying to watch runes that are beneath their player frame in the upper-left corner of the screen. Having to dart your eyes around the screen so fast that your simulated REM, you might go insane and your eyes might get tired really fast.

How to kill warrior?

Hello!

I was wondering if someone could give me some tips on countering warriors in 1v1 situations, in other words, what's the proper way to deal with them?

PS
those are my pve talents for frost, not pvp.
I see thanks for tips, i am gonna do some training on that.

frost 2h -vs- frost dw -vs- unholy dw

Hi.

Ive had a death knight before but that was before cata. now I plan on making a new death knight. I decided on his race being goblin.

I looked at the DK beginner sticky and found blood was the new tanking spec which I thought was frost. I also used to play frost 2 hander style and now I hear that frost is for dual wielding and unholy is for 2 hander. then I hear that frost is ok with 2 hander but not as good. then some people say that is false...

I will dual spec my DK but what im wondering is which is better and what opions you all on the death knight forums have about them.

Frost with a two hander?

Frost with two one handers?

Unholy with a 2 hander.

ill tank with blood so the question is which does better dps and which will help me level faster.

Runeforging BoA weapons.

Do they work on non-Death Knight toons?
No. I know this because when I was leveling my DK as DW Frost, I decided to give it the BoA Vrykul Axe one can get from Archaeology (yes, I know it gave Agility instead of strength, but that damage was insane for the level requirement). After I was done with it, I sent it back to my main and it arrived with no Runeforge on it. So no, DK runes on BoA weapons won't last for other characters.

What presence should I use as a PvP Frost DK?

A lot of people told me to go unholy presence, but this youtube video I was watching told me that I should go frost... If it is a situational thing, let me know when to use what. thanks!
I use unholy presence because i can get more hits off in the same period of time so more burn. Also spamming necrotic with a good snare to kill healers....especially those pesky druids.
Unholy. The reduced global cooldown is too good to drop.

Dks however do sometimes go into Blood Pres when getting trained.
On white damage: 10% boost to dmg from Frost equals 10% attack speed boost from UH.

However imo, .5 seconds off cooldowns + 10% faster rune regen from UH is much better than 10% runic power regen + 10% dmg on special attacks that Frost would bring.

Toss in the 15% movement speed bonus from UH and to me, it's a no brainer.

Faster (more) necrotic strikes to shut down healers. 10% more KM procs from auto-attacks. Faster EVERYTHING. And when paired with the 10% increase in rune regen to help the cooldown reduction not leave you rune starved, it's just amazing for burst.

Think about this: 1.5 second GCD on a strike means 2 strikes every 3 seconds in Frost presence. In UH presence you could do 3 strikes in the same 3 seconds. That is a HUGE increase in dmg - way more than 10%. And if all 3 strikes generated runic power, that's adding a lot more runic power than 2 strikes + 10% more RP generated per strike.

Don't take my word for it, try it yourself. Go duel people twice, once in each stance, and then decide.

I just started pvping on my dk and my gear still kind of sucks but I started off in frost presence and it seemed like I was waiting for my runes a lot when I tried to burst.

I switched to unholy and it's so much easier going after healers being able to get up 4-6 necrotics in just a couple secs and then being able to burst them down.

And if you pop empowered runed weapon to go for a burst kill - you can pull off fs's/ns/oblits so much faster. Plus with K'M procs you can pull off 2 20k+ crits in a second...
Haste is our #1 secondary stat priority.

Mobility and flexibility are must haves in PvP.

I think the answer is clear.
I would like to add this:

Talented Frost Pres gives 14-15% damage boost.

and if you use a speed enchant on boots you run at 107% in frost pres, unholy adds another 8% bringing it to 115%.

just a little extra data to help people make their decision

No its not mastery is...
Used to dps/pvp in frost presence, then i tried unholy presence and said "holy !@#$!" my dps jumped up by a good 3k. The reduced gcd and 15% movement speed increase, as well as attack speed increase is just too good to pass up

What are the BiS Trinkets for Frost?

I want to know what are the BiS Trinkets until you recieve the one of Ragnaros?

In Elitest Jerks it says the BiS Trinkets are as follow:

Vessel of Acceleration & Heart of Rage (Until you get the heroic versions of course)

I understand their the best atm. But the only trinket I can actually get is the Heart of Rage off BWD..

The Vessel.. is a bit harder as it drops off Ragnaros.. and Im not even close to downing him.

So what do you guys think are the BiS trinkets atm.. besides the trinket off Ragnaros..

I know it would be Heart of Rage and something else..

But what? I Currently have:

Fury of Angerforge & Crushing Weight.

Anyway.. my question is.. what can I get at the moment that would be BiS until I get get the Vessel ? License To Slay? Apperently thats awesome.. But I dont see it working.. help please?
Probably get Heart of Rage off Chimeraon and dump Fury. Crit is pretty much the worst stat for Frost, and Fury is full of it. Crushing Weight is awesome, wish I had it. I'd replace DMC:H.

edit: wait, you already said HoR. Apparatus looks decent as well, but I don't think it beats Crushing Weight.

See thats why I'm confused.. because Crushing Weight is Amazing.. yet.. all these sites tell me to get confusing trinkets <_<
id think apparatus is better than hor... ive been using apparatus and crushing weight with no problems finding expertise. now herioc hor might be slightly better than normal apparatus. that may be what you read.

Either way, Heart of Rage, License to Slay, Apparatus, are all going to be better then the Fury you're using now.
