I may have gotten the WoW itch, tell me what's happened in the past 2 years.

Obi's are only good if they crit..

No they are good without a crit as well, they just hit for half as much. With it being so easy to stack up all diseases in order to max obliterate damage, it's still a good burst. It would be nice to be able to easily manage KM procs across all DKs but as of now they are still doing the most burst despite probably not having KM procced on all DKs. Sustained damage is also fairly high.

On another note, the amount of CC protection DK's is probably better than any other class in the game right now:
1. AMZ anti all magic debuffs including fear, poly, and death grip
2. lichborne anti-fear/seduce/sleep
3. pillar of frost anti-knockback, including deathgrip
4. IBF anti-stun
5. pillar of frost glyphed = 1 minute trinket with no shared cooldown, if you want to sacrifice some burst. With your pvp trinket that's 3 trinkets out of anything every 2 minutes. If you don't need the pvp trinket, go with the other DPS trinket for another 1200+ pvp power and you can be rocking 45% pvp power easy

2, 4, and 5 can be used when already CC'd.

That and you have an aoe CC which is a bitch: remorseless winter. It stacks faster with multiple DK's casting it and it's a stun so it does not break on damage.

If you run several DKs it's probably worth grabbing 1-2 asphyxiate since you don't really need 4-5x chillblains as they're going to be slowed anyway. Asphyxiate turns strangulate into a stun, making it useful against non-casters. Yes, you lose strangulate, but I can't imagine many scenarios where you would need to use 4-5 strangulates within the cooldown window, and if you did, asphyxiate accomplishes the same thing.
