DK Tank - Frost/Blood Hybrid for LK 10 Hero

[Kompostierer]

Hey,

my guild is currently approaching LK 10-man heroic and we made our first good tries yesterday (~35%). Anyway, I was wondering if I can further tweak my talents:

I have recently switched from a deep frost (6/59/6) talent build to mainly blood/frost (36/30/5) hybrid, because of four reasons:

- increased lifepool
- take advantage of superior threat abilities from the frost tree
- provide excellent raid buffs +10% AP/+20% melee haste
- provide hysteria as a mini blood lust for our melee

Although I've the feeling that I'm not taking more dmg than before, it is hard for our holy paladin to keep me living in phase 1 - thats where we wiped most often. In Phase 1 LK encounter I'm responsible for tanking the adds. Maybe someone from your DK pros can have a look at my talent distribution.

My talent build:

If you want to leave comments on my gear, I'm also looking for your feedback. Note: I currently have the Prof 10 nh trinket available which I am using in LK 10 hc encounter (I replace it with the frost emblem trinket)

Thanks in advance for your help and keep up the good work,

Cheers

As long as threat generation isn't an issue (which it isn't on that particular encounter), it's more than fine. Will of the Necropolis is great again nowadays, but if you're lacking melee buffs then your spec is good.

What you can affect is how you handle everything. Is the enrage on adds getting removed? Do you use your cooldowns? Another easy way to handle them is building up some initial threat, after that you can just slap Chains of Ice and watch them crawl, never landing an enraged or frenzied hit.
