Doesn't blood want a good solid amount of ArPen in order to be competitive?

TBH I've played all three DPS specs within the last two months and I felt that they were all very close in DPS. I'm currently running Unholy DPS and while I'm loving the added AoE DPS I find myself missing the big numbers from Heart Strike and DW Obliterate. With the Gear you have, I'd probably suggest sticking with Frost DW, as those Axes are really sick for it (especially if you can get a couple of te 25man versions
Raging Deathbringer
) I personally didn't like playing Frost as much as Blood or Unholy though because it still seems to have a lot of downtime healing up after fights and what not.
Blood does do better stacking ArP after a certain point, but I think Unholy is kind of in the same boat in this patch, maybe not as much as blood though. I'm not sure that you are really testing each spec to it's fullest potential, and to that you won't get great results across the board. For instance, Unholy really isn't going to start looking amazing until you start seeing your diseases crit across a group of Mobs. At the same time Blood isn't going to look amazing unless you have an awesome twohander and plenty of strength and ArP to back it up. I'm fairly certain Frost on the other hand will be fine as long as you are Expertise capped and stack Strength.

Unholy really shines once you get 4pc t9 bonus. They did nerfed it, but buffed SS.
Don't be discouraged by Blood.
Blood is that kind of spec that increases its potential exponentially when there are more buffs available (along with gears), since all the buffs/stats are increased by a PERCENTAGE.
1-AM increases Atk power by 10% in addition to 2% of your str (give me battle shout pls).
2-Veteran of 3rd war increases Str by 6% (Yum, Blessing of Kings)
3-Blood Vengence will stack 3 times up to 9%.
4-Lets not forget Bladed Armor. More amor = more atk power. So Gift of the wild you will benefit from Agility, Str, and the Armor from it as well.
5-Blood Gorge, so 1,2,3 and 4 got buffed, this 10% just got alot bigger as well.
It's not that Unholy and Frost won't benefit the buffs and don't take advantages of it, but Blood takes advantage of each buffs more by abilities in its tree to increase each stat by a certain percentage. Meaning that Blood has a better amplification of buffs.
Any Str or Atk Power procs or abilities (like Rune of Fallen Crusader, Sigil of Virulence, 2pc t9 bonus) blood will have more of each stat when it procs.
Im not surprised that Blood is the weakest on Dummies.
