Why don't more DK tanks take Rune Tap?
Laser Chicken — ... can't advocate going deeper to get the improved version, as it's just too much of an investment. However, for a single talent point that you're probably going to just throw somewhere for more DPS anyways (not that I'm devaluing DPS, aka TPS) why not save your own bacon now and then? I know I did yesterday in Heroic Azjol-Nerub. The healer was out of mana but the boss was at 40K health. I popped Icebound Fortitude, Lifeblood, and Rune Tap and started vigorously Death Striking. He went down like a sack of bricks... giant bug bricks. Rune Tap ...

Questions about Death Knights?!?! Answers by SJ!!
Skeleton Jack — ...  is not even negotiable as far as I am concerned.  This talent alone will shave hours off of your leveling.  Now at this point you can either race off to Blood or you and go deeper into Unholy.  While you can level up as Frost, it is not competitive with Blood or Unholy for leveling purposes.  Unholy tops you off with UA, meaning you are always moving at +15% speed, and then fills you out with the best Death Strike healing (Unholy has 3 diseases for the healing multiplier) and the most amazing AoE capacity possible.  Geneally speaking, as Unholy, you go round up ...

Death Strike healing no longer based on damage
WoW.com — Filed under: Patches, Death Knight Death Strike is a bit of a strange skill in the Death Knight arsenal. Leveling, you use it in place of Scourge Strike/Obliterate when you need healing. In a raid, likewise, although you may be significantly less likely to need healing. In patch 3.1 this changed a bit, with Death Strike becoming the default UF ability for Blood builds, whether or not they needed healing at the time. However, this beefed-up Death Strike for Blood meant that Blood players were ...

Lichborne: A PTR preview of 5-man Crusader's Coliseum DPS loot for Death Knights
WoW.com — ...
