DK spec for 4x ret + dk heroics?

[heyaz]

You use that macro even for single target?

Not something like...

Dnd

icy touch, plague strike, death strike, blood strike, death strike, death strike, blood strike, blood strike?

Yep, I only have one macro. I'm sure it could be refined quite a bit and would probably need to be for 25 icc and such, but I haven't bothered because it seems to work. The paladins and enhance shaman pull >5k on everything and it works fine. I was really surprised to find it worked in 25 mans as well with people who are pulling twice that much DPS. I sometimes peel aggro from the other tanks in VoA after their taunt wears off if their rotation isn't efficient.

The snap aggro works well in heroics when I open with DnD and once the pestilence goes off I have it - the paladins won't peel with divine storm or SoC procs. With hand of reckoning spam the first target dies before the taunt wears off so one of my paladins is tanking for a few seconds but its rarely an issue. On bigger pulls I sometimes have to taunt with the DK as one ret seems to get aggro on the second reckoning and even in tier 9 they really can't take more than a few direct hits from heroic mobs... amazing how soft they are

One thing I forgot is the /click hotkeys all have rune strike - that's definitely needed for single target threat and once you have one of those go off the mob sticks to you.
