WWS link, Ghoul and army of the dead are NOT COUNTED in that wws.

Here is a recount screenshot of the accurate number. (no melee reported a combat log so no ghoul)

-Took this up the hall a bit clearing to grobs.

Figured i may as well cross post this to get a discussion going, i would like to see other classes brought in line with my own. I don't feel i should be this high as a DK.

-Yes, the recount is accurate. WWS did not include ghoul or army of the dead.
-Yes, ebon plague and crypt fever stacking should be fixed. However, this is about 150 dps at most.

The goal is to let death knights make a choice between DW or 2H dps. We realize there is a risk that DW will overtake 2H at some point, but that is not the goal. For most existing classes that promote DW, we allow DW to dominate.

It's hard to tell if that is happening yet on DKs. Patchwerk is a short fight where blowing cooldowns reaps big benefits, and I tend to agree with the opinions that this guy won the lottery.

We haven't decided if we are going to take steps yet to back off DW damage. I think the jury is still out on whether we are going to see a lot or most DKs go the DW route. If DW DKs are only going for the fastest possible weapons in order to maximize procs per unit time, then that is something we might address.

I definitely wouldn't vendor your Colossal Skull-Clad Cleavers just yet. :)
