Unholy was better to box as DPS. I boxed a Dk as DPS for a really long time. even pre IWT. It finally came down to just not being enough DPS to be worthwhile and too complicated of a rotation so I just stopped boxing him a while back.
What I'm currently using for DPS is 2 keys, 1 is to get diseases up / spread them around. The second is specials that burn off runic power + depend on diseases being up for extra damage. I based these off a pretty complex unholy rotation for raid AoE DPS. Single target DPS is still pretty solid. I pull 6-8k DPS with these in raids.
