Why do you want all DKS to be unholy?

Honestly, with all the changes to the other trees it seems as if Unholy is the only way to go now. On live you have the option of choosing unholy-sustained damage, not a lot of burst, but great defenses and a pet.
blood and frost-bursty trees that focus on well..nothing really, blood has a few self-heal talents and frost has....an AoE freeze?? You seem to want to tone down DK burst in blood and frost but buff unholy, which leaves us with...

Unholy-sustained damage with occasional high Scourge Strikes and Plague strikes(glyphed), pet, and nice defenses
Blood-Still a one trick pony with dancing runic weapon but with burst nerfed what is the point anymore?
Frost-worst spec of DKs for DPS, little to no survivability(lol 18 sec IBF) and garbage sustained damage.

I thought you were upset that 99% of the DK population was unholy, we saw a few branch out into blood and frost for PvE, but the majority of PvP DKs stayed unholy, now PvE is swinging towards unholy as well.

We don't want all DKs to be Unholy. Some of the initial predictions of Unholy dominance in 3.1 were made based on incorrect assumptions about how the new scaling worked. We have since toned down some of the huge hits done by Scourge Strike and Plague Strike and there will be more changes as we go along.
