Thanks for the input gents!

To my knowledge (I've run about 300 games this season on various comps) and the problem ultimately seems to be that DKs are just not a good match for a resto shaman. Oppositional they're the best. Together not so great.

I'll explain my usage of the talents.

GG - This is an amazing peel if you use it right. Meaning when double/triple melee decide to whomp my shaman I can hit them all with GG and get them all (targetting self) and then los them on the shaman.
Chilblains - Good luck killing a resto druid without it.
Purgatory - Sometimes in 3s one of the DKs winds up in an awful position and gets gibbed. Literally 100-0 in 2 or 3 globals. No purgatory would be incredibly hard to adjust to.
Runic Corruption - I don't like the spasms of blood tap. I can see it being great though for landing lots of necros. But the thing is, with death runes rolling in from my regular rotation, I can also use death siphon to heal my DKs without having to worry about myself being CC'd. Death Siphon isn't the best i know but it's one of those things I don't have to think about within the rotation.

Perhaps I should try double frost instead. I did not know that necrotic stacks were nerfed. Ugh... I wish I'd known about this some time ago. I do have an arms warrior sitting at tyrannical (mostly) so that is an option. Still... I'm wondering how UH/Frost would do.

Dispels don't really affect these guys. Their normal PvP rotation doesn't including festering. They spam icy touch and plague strike along with blood boil. Damage wise they can put out a steady amount of damage in 3s IF the shaman lives.

I can see the point about being in unholy presence though. I've had some games where one of them winds up gibbed, fast. Like I would eat a corner and before I could turn it they'd be dead. Those comps (ele) are getting nerfed though.


Conversion doesn't strike me as useful. I know it does heal a good bit but it can also be pushed through in 3s. It also requires a lot of RP to keep it going. That means less coils in DPS and less coils on my shaman.
