After 1 week. My thoughts on dual to quad DK pvp

[Shodokan]

Dual wield does higher DPS in PVE as well.

When I last ran blood spec's for instances back in Jan/Feb, DW was vastly superior to 2h for one simple reason. It upped the number of worms your DK spam was generating which resulted in pretty silly self healing on top of everything else!

So why do pve DKs use 2hers?

It is a different dynamic. Sort of a fundamental concept of multiboxing. What works best for a single account often isn't best for the multiboxing setup. So...

I imagine 2h generates more threat.

This is a moot point when you run 4 blood DK's. You are 1, not trying to hold agro over DPS. 2, you are generating more self healing through more worm procs.

Interesting I will have to try this out!

It was quite silly when I ran it. I was doing instances without any outside healing

Heroic instances?

[TeamGrizzly]

Yes they are. That reminds me I still have to reforge all my new gear out of crit and into mastery when I get on next.

Question: what hit rating are you guys going for? trying for anymore now that you're dual wielding?

It is still 5% hit for PvP but you automatically gets 3% from with Nerves of Cold Steel alone.

Heroic instances?

I was wondering this as well. I have tried using a paly healer..it works well, but from 60-70 a healer just slows me down. 5 blood DKs + the right glyphs make a healer unnecessary. When does this stop being true?

. When does this stop being true?

when they remove dk's from the game in 4.3

nah, cata dyngeons are harder
