Hopefully the one handed version will be seriously nerfed it's designed to allow us to use dps weapons as tanking weapons. It's a serious catering to all the DW tanks who have cried that they have to gear differently to tank properly (Really, so when the patch went live and they stated they didn't want DW tanks that meant nothing?)
If that glyph goes live it will make Glyph of Icy Touch the number one dps glyph out there, and completely eliminate the already ridiculous usage of HB Glyph. Of course this will also buff DW DPS even more as it will increase our dps beyond unholy and Blood unless they are getting a buff soon.

Sam, IT is used in our rotation to apply the disease. This will buff our disease ticks. No one is talking about it replacing Obliterate. Oh, wait, I see what I did there. I meant it will be the number one choice for our 3rd glyph, in place of GoD and HB Glyph. Sorry about that, didn't write out my thoughts clearly.

Not that bad, because the frost dual wield trees were regenerating more rune power then they could burn short of unholy presence anyways.

Seriously. 1h SSG? This will make DW tanking clearly superior and force every single blood/unholy/frost2h tank to respec this. Tanking with 2 dps slow weapons will not only be viable, it will be only possible option. Sigh... Bye bye variety.... They can just as well wipe tanking talents from other trees.
Blizz has publicly stated that while they want DW tanking to "work", they do not want it to be superior to 2H tanking. If in fact you end up being right, expect it to get nerfed soon after.
As for Glyph of IT change. its a pvp nerf, and i dont pvp. In fact i like the change, it will probably boost single target frost dw dps in pve.
PVP can go to hell and die for all i care. They should have left it in southshore where it belongs.

For Unholy builds that have lots of disease damage (think Crypt fever = 30% disease dmg buff), I think the glyph change is great; I'll actually consider getting it now.
Of course, I speak this from a pvp mindset that goes into frost to pick up endless winter (CoI causes FF) so I never use IT anyway.
If you are talking about a pve dps nerf, I guess it depends.

That doesn't make any sense. Disease damage is effective by AP at time of application, the damage on your IT has nothing to do with it.
Read the rest of the quote mate, you edited out the part where I corrected a portion of that statement.

Harlon, I believe the idea is to kill the UBA 1 point in CotG build that is going around, or to further kill any desire to HB glyph. My personal belief is they felt that they heard too many Blood DK's whining about how close or better we were at single target dps, so they hit the best scaling DW frost spec/glyph hard. Think about it. They nerfed the strength gain in UBA and gave a nerf to IT glyph all in one fail patch.
