4x Frost DK's avalable for Cata dungeons (while leveling)?

[Emo?]

Hello, atm i play 4 dps frost DK's and have masshed most instances from 60-73, some of the areas in cata zones im pritty bored of and wondering if you think i will be able to handle the normal dungeons while leveling and which of those that you think is best to multibox as a melee team.

Currently running main in blood presence. and the 3 slaves in frost presence (ussualy working for agro but ussualy np with some spread dmg for the healers).

My question is because i heard from some friends who is sceptical against my setup since "cata instances are so much harder than wotlk".

Thoughts/tips?

I ran four bloods specs in blood presence for the first 3 cata dungeons successfully.

Healers got bored in WOTLK because of so much self healing, but still steam rolled them.

From 82-85 I mostly ran AV.

Ok :) cheers, might dualspecc to blood then just for the ez of instance leveling.

My dk's are almost 84 and I'm running 1 blood + 3 frost + disc priest. I've cleared BRC, Tides, Vortex Pinnacle, and Stonecore.

Depends on you really... if you are struggling on a specific boss try 4x blood. The dmg isn't as good but omg the survivability is out of control.

Ok, thanks for the help :)

What are the spell priorities for blood? Obviously Death Strike.

But I am struggling to fill in the rest other than Rune Strike for the Runic dump... What do you have or suggest?

[Toned]

I don't really go blood that often I just went blood specifically for the stupid dragon in stonecore... then I dicked around with it for a couple other runs to switch it up.

There might be a better setup, but this worked for me so I went with it.
(3 Blood run this, the other just sticks with his tank setup).

Buttons 2-7 (2 is also sent on keypress up)

2 - Macro:


/castsequence reset=combat icy touch, plague strike, deathstrike x a lot
/cast blood tap
3 - Heart Strike
4 - Macro Pestilence, 4 heart strikes with a /cast blood boil underneath for the procs.
5 - Outbreak (you can take this out and manage it yourself for better #'s)
6 - Death Coil
7 - Rune Tap (basically heal when you can)

Get glyph of succor, death strike, heart strike, rune tap... + whatever else. Run in unholy or frost. Test it out see what gets you the best results.

I did my first heroic with my priest dk group the other day. I did SFK but had to call in someone who could remove curses on the last boss. I speced the dk's blood and the priest is disc. The smite spec for the priest seems like a great combo for the dk team. Thats on my list to try next. I didn't have any problem clearing SFK with the team. If you do a heroic that requires special dispells or some crazy aoe you need to avoid, the dks could be a problem. Killing trash in the heroic was trivial with all the dk healing.

If you run 4 blood ... smite spec fits in nicely. I messed around with that as well.

What are the ++ ?

What are the ++ ?

More dps... lots of mindless healing from the dk's and smite spam.
When I say more dps I mean more dps than 4 blood and a disc/holy priest standing around.

It is no where near the dps of 3 frost 1 blood 1 disc
