Why Alchemy x 5 ?

[Toned]

I'm a fan of engineering x5, but after leveling engineering on my shamans I had no desire to level professions on my DKs. If this comp is still viable after 4.2 I may persue professions. For a DK team I'd say Blacksmithing / Engineering on all 4 is the way to go. We have to gem spell pen, so with blacksmithing we can atleast make up 2 slots. The 4x Gloves will always be nice additional burst.

I'm hoping 4.2 ele makes a comeback, but with the current changes I still just don't see it happening. I'm experimenting with adding a mutilate rogue into my mix for smoke bomb. I wish I could run sub reliably in the setup, and I might if I play from the rogues POV. Mutilate is pretty faceroll to multi-box without the position requirements. I am also testing the viability of 3dks + 1 war. All else fails finish my other 3 wars and make bladestormcleave.
