With today’s 3.3.3 patch, there’s a lot DK’s have to look forward to. Mostly, though, it’s the DK tanks that have the most to look forward to.

A quick summation of buffs

-Icy Touch threat up to 14x from 2x. There’s that snap aggro we needed.
-WotN internal cooldown removed and can proc of damage lower than 5% of our health. This is going to flatten a lot of spike damage we take in heroics, and provides an extra safety net in raids. There’s the survivability Blood needed.
-Necrosis and Blood Caked Blade will proc off Rune Strike again. There’s the sustained threat Unholy needed.
-Dancing Rune Weapon will contribute to our threat.
-And of course Frost Dual Wield tanking looks even more viable than it already is. More haste from Icy Talons means more Rune Strikes proccing.

These changes make DK tanks, particularly Blood spec, look quite viable again.  It’s a good time for all ye jaded DK’s who’ve replaced your Rune of the Stoneskin Gargoyle with Fallen Crusader, to once more step to the fore and take up some of the tanking slack.
