DK Talents in 3.1

I am just wondering if with the coming change of gargoyle to the new 51pt in Unholy and the damage going back up, is there anything in the works to bring the 51pt talent of frost up to par? I mean lets look at this objectively: Blood has DRW which i have a feeling will be getting it's burst damaged nerfed here shortly and rightfully so. I say do away with all the obscene burst going around right now. But it will still be very viable for PVE and PVP, because i don't think blizz would nerf it into uselessness.

Unholy after gargoyle gets reverted and if a DRW change goes through will have the best 51pt talent of all the trees. (another point for unholy. I hate this tree so much.) No need to explain how or where gargoyle will be viable. Then we have Hungering Cold, the frost 51pt. We all know the sheer overwhelming amount of dk's in todays pvp world and i can say i've not seen this ability used more than 10-15 times ever. Lets face it cost 60RP breaks on damage. Now is that useful in some situations yes, but compare that to gargoyle and DRW >_> See what i mean.

I'm in love with the frost tree. and i think that the frost tree is the most balanced of all the DK trees especially for pvp. Blood come in a close second with DRW+Hysteria+untargetable pushing it just over the OP boundary. And the Unholy....dont even get me started, so much utility in one tree, so much damage in one tree ,so much armor ignore in one tree, So much mitigation in one tree. It's time to stop favoring this tree blizz. This tree is already accepted to be hands down the best for pvp. Others are viable but unholy is always better. Then in pve this tree is easily in the top 3 best dps trees a dk can spec into. Is it just me or does this seem a little lopsided to anyone?

I suggest reasonable change to DRW still keep it viable and maybe throw one extra anti-kite device into blood some where and blood would be perfect and balanced. Frost is very pvp viable but 51pt needs some looking at and with the change to BOTN coming should make for some interesting builds.

Unholy....well if this is the standard tree for dk's that other trees should be equal to (for pvp i'm talking now), frost def needs some buffs. and with some toning down to DRW, blood will need some to. Tired of unholy ruling the show.

The DK talent trees are changing quite a bit. We only listed a few of the changes.

More equality among the three trees in PvP and PvE are high on the list.
