The main reason not to use oblit IMO is that you miss out on your necrotic strikes. Even if you are doing more damage with oblit vs NS/Icy touch, the psychological advantage you get with the heal debuff from NS is too good to pass up.

So for PvP single target attacks I would look more at Icy touch/NS instead of obliterate. Come to think of it what sort of damage does glyphed chains of ice do?
I'm not sold on this "psychological advantage" you guys are referring to for necrotic strike vs Obliterate.

Running Frost DK + 4 Rets, the moderate damage alone causes a double healer team to be completely oom after 30 seconds or less (time goes by in a weird way in arena ) I have my 1 DK use Obliterate as a priority, with HB only saved for ranged snare, or ranged damage.

Basically, if you are putting enough pressure on the target from using your OB, you shoudn't be running into an issue of Necrotic Strike really kicking in. The healers will already be using as effective (and inefficient) heals as possible from seeing 4 DK's mauling a target.
