Don't remove a point from either BcB or KM - the dps loss is way too much. Take the point from Chill of the Grave. You will usually be fine with runic power, so a loss from CotG is fine.

I took off the personal dps build because it's a waste of space, and there is no need anymore to not spec into Improved IIT. 2 points in BcB is 1 percent dps increase, while 3 points is 4 percent dps increase. Improved IIT is a better build for any raiding DW DPS.
As for stat priorities, I generally take it from elitistjerks, or this website once they update it.

Harlon, I am not sure. I really haven't looked into crit rates much. Frost has so many hidden crits on our talent tree that finding them all would take some time. Generally, Melee crit is the only one we worry about. However, due to the mechanics of DWing, crit is no longer as valuable as it is with 2h. I run with 22 percent unbuffed crit last time I checked.

Nice thread. DW frost owns.
One thing -
The new meta to use is the +21 Agi and 3% crit, because you only need one nightmare tear (+10 stats) to fill all the meta requirements, leaving everything else to be filled by +20 strength gems.
I've tested with both, and i've found this to be better than the 2 blues.

@Thayer-I don't really see anything wrong with your spec. It sounds more like a rotation and grouping issue. Pushing 4k in a heroic is a good thing. 2.5k is probably not a boss fight, but what you do during trash. Trash in a heroic is an awful indicator of your abilities. Most die with in 20 seconds, which is well before you can even get rolling as a DW frost DK. In most boss fights if you die within the first 1min and a half you will actually be behind most Blood DK's of equal value and skill. The longer the fight takes the greater the ability that we have to ramp up our dps.
@finbarr - the agility gem is not better this has been factored since gemming began, and it has come to reason out that it is a worse gem than Chaotic Sky. Please don't pass on bad ret pali advice.

Huge thing to remember we are a
Priority
rotation. Not a set in stone rotation. This means you hamper your dps by sticking to a set in stone rotation. Our rotation is based on time on target and several other factors covered on the first page.
