Death Knights
* Raise Ally has been redesigned to be a battle resurrection, analogous to Rebirth. It is instant cast, but costs 50 Runic Power to use, and has a 10-minute cooldown. It shares the same global battle resurrection cap with Rebirth and Soulstone.
* Talent Specializations
o Blood
+ Blood Shield now only works while in Blood Presence.
o Frost
+ * Blood of the North (passive) now permanently converts both Blood Runes into Death Runes. There is no longer any proc interaction with Blood Strike required to activate Death Runes.
+ Frost Strike now deals 130% of weapon damage, up from 110%.
+ Howling Blast damage has been increased by 20%. To compensate, the area-of-effect splash now does 50% of the single-target damage, down from 60%. The net result of this change leaves the area-of-effect damage roughly the same as 4.0.6 numbers.
Glyphs
* Glyph of Raise Ally is now Glyph of Death Gate, and makes Death Gate cast 60% faster.
