My DK/ 4 ret exp...

[suprafro]

For heroic farming (I only do the daily heroic for 2 frost emblems now) I started rolling as 5dps once my gear got to the point of the pallies pulling 5-6k dps and found it more efficient as my DK can then do much more dps (4-5kish dps). When the pallies suited up in 2pc T10 and ilvl245 weps their dps totally skyrocked... I still use the DK to tank a few of the heroic ICC5 bosses like scourgelord, However, outside of that the DK is just another DPS and agro bounces around to whoever. My DK is speced 45/26 and uses a castsequence of 2x death strike->8x heart strike with no reset which is perfectly efficent if you have death rune mastery, diseases are pretty worthless in heroics when targets die in a few seconds
