HBx4 HBx4, Grip, plague/nectrotic, frost strikes to finish. That is enough bursty DPS imo to come into a fight in a BG and if the HB's doesn't wipe everyone who isn't topped up off, you start picking the healers off whom are going to be going into healing overload to catch everyone you just dropped to <20% hp back up. With the way mana and healing is supposedly going to work, that right there will win you the impetus of the fight and put your healers way out in front of the mana healing battle.

I am starting to think that the 4DK+healer friend, 5 DK or Healer lead + 4DK is going to be a solid melee group. Huge burst, crazy control, good survivability.
In pvp period it's all about howling blast... why use obliterate when you can get necrotic/plague + howling for equal damage and more pressure =P For the highest burst though you use oblit, not that it is superior in any way shape or form other than pure damage output.

I personally am going to be running either holy pally or resto druid/shaman + dks. Likely holy pally or resto shaman... being able to beacon yourself for 5 mins is just too strong.
