Why are you this spec? Why have you Geared/Gemmed/Enchanted in a particular way? Explain?
i am this spec becaus i like to tank.
I geared/gemmed/enchanted this way, since i feel that tanking is an art that i can do. Its just something i feel good at.

What would your normal rotation be on a raid boss fight to gain optimal DPS / Effective Healing / Threat generation?
First i start with Icy Touch (ranged attack)
Then i go for Plague Strike
Followed by 2x Hearth Strike
if needed, a Runic Power Dump
1x Death Strike
Keep doing DeathStrike + Hearth Strike till diseases need to be renewed.

In between i would do Horn of Winter and most of my attacks are macro'd with Rune Strike on it.

Thanks for the app, gl.

Specc and rotation is not really spot on tho. I recmomend checking out this DK tanking thread on EJ forums.

I know what the perfect rotation is, i used it before.
But at the spot, i found out im not it 100%. Altho i really should do.
Dont got any aggro problems, at least not in my last guild.

About the spec, i see what i got different tho.
After really thinking about it, i see how it differs.
And can be better then what i got now, ill change it.

[Dimon]

Yeah, the biggest issue for a tank is to only spend talent to improve TPS, mitigation and avoidance.
Rune tap is sub optimal since it's not the tanks job to heal himself. Thats our healers job.
And since were so lucky that we have people on the internet that's doing the math for whats optimal for us. There's not really much of an excuse to experiment much unless you actually can do a better job of theory crafting yourself. IMHO

I am not gonna theorycraft myself.
way to difficult + i believe the guys that already theorycraft atm this moment =P.
If you look at the armory, you might see that my spec is changed

[Redsteel]

one change i would say is to get your defense cap without the 2 handed rune and get sword shattering, stoneskin is for new tank and tbh you should easily have def cap without even i took the time out to get it capped and THATS SAYING SMTHIN (<------ very lazy) and yeh i know u get loads of people saying but what about the stam buff.... fuck it its pathetic 4% parry it miles better than it tbh

Without anything enchanted, i got 541 defense rating.(also without Gargoyle)
So i can go for that yeah, if needed. Ench my cloak + chest for more def rating.

Dont know if you guys need it, but i got an Offspec with 4K dps..

[Dimon]

+10 stats on chest, there is no other enchant for that slot to be taken. ;p
Stalwart Ametrine or Thick King's Amber in a yellow gemslot is a better alternative if you're slightly off the def cap imho.

[Dimon]

I take part of that statement back. Instead of using one Thick King's Amber, using Nightmare Tear and Enchant Chest - Greater Defense will be a better option. :p
Still only viable if you need more then 10 def rating tho.
