4.0.1 dk(ing) p.1

As we all know with cataclysm's immenint release, everything will be changing in a short order, and as of 4.0.1 we can already see that with a redo of the spellbook system, character screen system, talent system, guild system, pvp system, pve emblem system, practically everything, I'll try to cover this and jam it into a section as small as possible.

Ok, lets start with the new talent system, now, there is only one tanking spec, blood, and frost and unholy are now the only dps specs, with frost dw, frost 2h and unholy 2h, being the available specs, not only are there these changes, but the availability of your talent points and how you spend them have changed, since you will only have 35 talents to spend or so, and each tree now has 31 points minimum, because you have to specify which talent tree you want to spec into for the mastery bonus, and once you get to 31 points in the tree you can branch out into other trees, for us its to grab extra spell hit and att power.

For a while, i'm staying frost dw, but, according to what i've seen so far (one day after patch) frost 2h is now the most powerful dps class for death knights. Basically it's the same build for frost dual wield, with changes because of the new talents. Also, the glyphs changed so I still have to get an inscriptionist to make me some because you can now have 9 glyphs, instead of 6, but their functions are different.

There is a lot of potential for frost 2h unlike pre-patch because of the uber buffing of obliterate, and with reforging, you can have this talent build, stack haste by taking out some un-needed stats, go unholy presence and have your runes practically always available because you will now have a passive ability to make your runic power dump spells to randomly respawn a rune around 50% of the time, meaning you could potentially have a never ending supply of runes and that means a never ending stream of yellows causing your dps to sky rocket, because you won't see that big of a difference in your white dps, unless you get some weapon upgrades or you gem differently, because if you gem all haste you might lose white dps but gain the yellow, however, i'm planning to gem half in str and half in haste for my off spec and see how it works out after doing some more research.
