FS spam builds get a bit of attention in the
frost DPS thread on EJ
.
few conclusions are drawn regarding the spec's viability but it's worth a read.
as samhein says the GCD is 1.5 seconds for DKs but unholy presence is arguably the best idea for this spec because it has a LOT of attacks to use in it's rune cycle.

definitely... and there isn't even any very strong evidence (mathematical
or
anecdotal) to suggest a FS-spam build is a particularly good idea.
i think it's basically included in that thread for the sake of variety since frost doesn't have a great deal of options.
overall, i'd say that if you fancy giving it a go and you can get some reasonable numbers from it then great but don't expect a great deal of back up from theorycrafting or others' experience.

Sam, in the build you posted, since he's using OB to generate death runes and has Rime (yeah, for OB damage, but still...), do you think the VotW point would go better in HB just for when it procs off the OB?

Sam, the reason I'm asking is he's using a lot of Icy Touch (not affected by expertise) and Frost Strike (not affected by expertise), and if you save HB for the Rime procs, it's not using runes.
So, whatever benefit you're getting from expertise seems less useful in this build compared to a straight frost DPS Oblit build.

There's an example of a Frosty with ~4.5k and has a video of how to do it. For those who don't believe me in how complex this build is currently I would suggest watching it. It's very descriptive but it's incredibly hard to keep up with. I had to watch it 4 times before I got the basics >.<
Do you have a link to that video? I am interested :)
