DK teams!

[Hachoo]

Now in 20 seconds, I could have gotten off in my rotation 2 Heart Strikes which Average for 1K per mob, but can still crit for 2+K easily.

You should be able to get at least 4 heart strikes off per 20 second rotation. What else are you using blood runes for? Are converting blood runes to death runes for Oblit, Death Strike or Howling Blast?

When specced blood to solo old world raid bosses on my 80 DK I have the following rotation per 20 seconds:

Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Death Strike, Heart Strike, Heart Strike, Obliterate, Death Strike, Heart Strike, Heart Strike

With Epidemic in the live servers the last Death Strike still has two diseases up to provide healing. The final two HS don't get any bonus damage as the diseases generally fall off by then. If HS is your strongest attack, you would want to maximize it. The only thing I can see replacing it with is a Pestilence to spread your plague, but depending on your spec you might not get the death rune conversion from it. Apologies for not looking at your specs right now, but I wanted to answer before I sleep. I'll try and look closer at the spec and play around with rotations tomorrow from work. Maybe I'll finally get off my ass and write that rotation simulator I've been meaning to code up.

Oh, and the DKs just hit 74 tonight. I plan to start working on instances sometime after 75 since I can start getting rep from tabards then and the more time I can avoid having to fly without an epic flier the better.

I don't think you get any rep from tabards until you enter a level 80 instance (utgarde pinnacle, halls of lightning, the oculus, etc). I ran instances all the way up to 80 with a tabard on and never got any rep until I hit UP for the first time.
