Question for GC re: Death Knight DW Future

Where do you see DW going in the future? I'm hoping the change to KM along with the restoration of the HB cooldown doesn't completely neuter us, which I highly doubt it will. Instead I hope it brings us in line with 2h Unholy, maybe leaving us still a bit ahead if we play our rotations/CDs right and make efficient use of KM procs along with the gargoyle, which in its current state is still a nice DPS booster.

To clarify my general question, would you like to see DW become on par with, slightly above, or slightly below the capabilities of a 2h DPS spec? A reasoning behind your answer would be nice too :) Until then, stay away from the gin. Bad for ya.

On par. It's tricky because for those classes to which we have given a DW option, it always comes to dominate. But we do want it to be an option for DKs. On live right now it doesn't feel like an option because it so overpowers the 2H style.

You wouldn't want to see me without it.
