4 DKs and a holy priest

Alright I started playing WoW again and mainly Im interested in using my 4 DKs with a blood build and every one in blood presence. However Im finding if I fight anything that has a healer it becomes really difficult since their dps is so low. So either I have my choices for dps wrong or I need to think outside the box to take down double healer npc packs (im looking at you VP).

I'm doing a two step with:
Downpress: Death Strike
Release: Heart Strike, Rune Tap (for survivability), Death Strike, Blood Boil and Outbreak (also mind freeze is going off round robin)

Now these are NOT castsequenced, they are all trying to go off on each press. I don't like blood boil being on there because its low damage, however I dont want aggro on my priest so I need an AOE ability. I also don't like Rune Tap on their, because it does no damage... but it makes for brainless healing. Any suggestions?

Usually it's never a mana problem with the priest. Those stupid double healer packs are f'in ridiculous in that they heal fast, heal 3/4 health and the add with the AoE stun going off doesnt help. I did get past one pack by using Army on all 4 and getting lucky but thats a long cooldown to wait for between packs.

I would probably have Runetap on its own key.
Which would be glyphed and talented.
So you can use it every 30 seconds or so.

Death Strike is like Obliterate, it uses both a Frost Rune and an Unholy Rune.
I'd probably have that on its own key, with a single Blood Rune ability.
Heart Strike comes to mind, as that is one Blood Rune and can hit up to three targets.
Rune Strike is a good runic power dump for blood.
I'd probably have this as DPS rotation #2.

When you don't require the supplemental healing...
Or prefer more DPS.
Probably a rotation with more damage than the healing rotation.
Not sure what that might be, as I don't play Blood.

I Run a disc/holy priest and 4 blood death knights.

Cleared First 4 cata instances with this team first time as soon as ilevel let me in.
For double healers ive had no problems. Like in VP (also got the mount first time in :D )
VP double healers i just death grip one and either down him fast (always works) then straight to the next healer
Or run upstairs around corner so i can clump them all together and away from there lightning barriers.
Just about to hit 85 and the tanks do about 6k Dps, Priest only 2k no enchants or gems yet
So going to work on this when i hit 85

Wow thanks cheesecake! That's alot more than I was asking for heh. I went to the dummies and yeah, Im doing about 6k dps, which doesnt seem to take care of the two healer teams. However I'm going to try a smite spam build for my priest and see how that goes. We have an in guild smite spec priest that does 5k dps AND heals for around 6k hps when we run BH. We'll see if the extra dps works.

Strangulate round robin on the DKs should solve the healer problem? At least it does for me.

It can be hard to have the runes for strang with our normal spam sometimes.

Isn't that why we use blood tap + strangulate to always ensure we can silence when needed?
