Some dps improvements.

So I've been checking so top class Frost Death Knight's lately and noticed a few thing I'd like to be sure about;

First of all, I'm used to having FC enchant on my MH and Razorice on my OH, still I see people doing way more dps reversing it with Razorice on the MH and FC on your OH weapon. Isn't it better to put FC on your mainhand so you have more uptime on +15% strength?

Second, I'm filling my yellow sockets with Str/Crit gems for more OB crits, I still see many people gem str/haste, would that be better? (Even if arp gemmed?)

Third, is 1/52/18 a viable spec to have when gemming arp or should you get rid of talents in Chill of the Grave because you will be using less Frost Strikes anyway.

Last night I've been trying to use Razorice on my MH weapon, you'd be amazed what a massive increase in damage that does. Unfortunatelly I can't show you guys logs, we weren't recording any because we had to test out some trials.

Usually I would end up just below 15k dps on DBS 25 heroic, which aint bad but it aint wonderful either. Last night I managed to start off with 18.4k on our(yes our trials failed) first attempt. However, it would drop to about 16.5k at around 65-70% boss health.

Is there any "trick" or tip to keep my dps maxxed out? Ofc we benefit alot from haste potion, army, etc, etc. But it shouldn't make a 2k difference.

At least I can provide you with logs from last week where my dps wasn't that good but you get to take a look at my castsequence.

There's some additional uptime on FC buff if you have it in off-hand. It's incredibly miniscule; originally I just had Razorice on my MH because I wasn't sure whether or not the off-hand hits for Razorice would do MH or OH damage.

The reason people most likely gem for haste is that it simply does more DPS overall once you're past a certain gear level.

Yes, your spec is viable. You _definitely_ don't want to end up in a situation where you don't have a DPS ability to hit on every single GCD. I'm pretty damn sure that would happen if you specced out of CotG. Frost Strike, surprisingly enough, does a lot more DPS than Horn of Winter.
