Unholy Tanking Spec & Click Macro - updated for 3.3

[shamanza]

**DISCLAIMER** - This spec & rotation are primarily deisgned for heroic tanking. For raiding, Blood and Frost tanking specs produce approximate 3-5% more threat (not saying you can't raid with Unholy, just that other specs produce more threat )

The spec / rotation that was viable for 3.22 has changed for 3.3

New spec looks like this:

Note - I have gone for a non-Reping spec (i.e. no Death Runes). If you want Reaping, I would suggest this spec:
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...Z,Yp3eO-,10676
Please note this has a different single target rotation (the 2nd round of Blood Strikes get replaced with a sinlge Scourge Strike).

Rotations have changed since 3.2.2 as we now take Epidemic, making diseases last another 6 secs - in other words you only need to refresh diseases every 20 secs (every 2nd rune seqence).

This gives you a rotation that looks like this:

This gives you a rotation that looks like:

SS – BB (or BS) – SS – BB

You may need to add or remove commas depending on how quickly you mash the keys.

Hope this helps...
