Cata Frost DK dps macro? anyone?

[halabar]

there have been enough changes, that I'd like to see if anyone has anything working.

[halabar]

according to the boys at EJ, the rotations should look something like this:

single target:

Diseases > Ob if both Frost/Unholy pairs and/or both Death runes are up, or if KM is procced >
BS if both Blood Runes are up > FS > Rime > Ob > BS > HoW.

multi target:

HB if both Frost runes and/or both Death runes are up >
DnD/PS if both Unholy Runes are up > FS > HB > BS > DnD/PS HoW.

I'm clueless as how to model the prioritization in green in a macro..

My 1 button spam macro looks like this:

/castsequence [reset=combat] plague strike, howling blast, obliterate, horn of winter, blood strike, blood strike, howling blast, howling blast, howling blast, howling blast
/cast frost strike
/use 13
/use 14
/cast blood fury
/cast anti-magic shell
/cast pillar of frost

Pulls respectable numbers, im sure its not optimal.

Thanks, I'll try building on it.

use a click macro because with all the proccs its hard

i dont use obliterate and i play in Unholy presenc and for PvP this is just fucking great, reforge everything to mastery

How would you get those setup with a click macro without the timing commas? just a long string of click commands?

(Sorry still a noob at building these, I do a lot better hacking on what someone has started...)

I'm not really a fan of the alternating dps buttons, but they are amazing for DK's :P
After a couple hours of dps testing here is what I've come up with :
Frost DK Dps - 2 button alternating (See Mercucio's Thread)

Button1:

/castsequence reset=combat plague strike, blood strike, howling blast, obliterate, howling blast, howling blast
/use 13
/use 14

button2:

/castsequence reset=combat horn of winter, frost strike, frost strike, frost strike, frost strike, frost strike
/cast blood tap

/cast blood tap

If you had an addon, allowing for longer macros...
Would a longer macro achieve the same thing?

/castsequence reset=combat Plague Strike, Horn of Winter, Blood Strike, Frost Strike, Howling Blast, Frost Strike, Obliterate, Frost Strike, Howling Blast, Frost Strike, Howling Blast, Frost Strike
/use 13
/use 14
/cast Blood Tap

Negatory.... with my spam rate and rune's refreshing from frost strikes etc... a single macro isn't flexible enough and you will lose dps. The rotation you posted is not what happens when you run this setup. When you have no runes it does Frost Strike Till you get runes (unless you have no RP) something your macro would not do.

I'm not really a fan of the 2 button setup either, but so far I've found it to net higher dps for Destro Lock, Any spec DK, and Ret pallies. Everything else I have just on 1 macro or a macro with a /click.
