Obliterate is necessary now because of damage disparity between it and HB + plague strike (since you can only necrotic twice now)
You also need spare frost runes for the new execute ability
Have to keep track of rime for HB procs much like rets did for exorcism (which won't be the case come MoP)
Have to use frost runes to icy touch for offensive dispel at opportune times which will set off your rotation.
Basically theres going to be a lot more micromanagement to worry about to play them effectively.
I mean you can negate a lot of it but there will be more DPS rotation buttons and such. It's not going to be like it is now where you bind all your stuff to 1 key and kill something in 4 seconds (though they would have the burst for that if you could re-set runes with diseases up and all oblit 3 times).
Dks and rets will be my first teams more than likely still as theres a lot of utility in each's kit. Shaman look REALLY solid as well.
