Yuins is MM and brings Trueshot Aura. We normally have the +13% spell damage debuff covered on bosses, either via Ghoselle or Marco. The advantage to unholy is that we'll get the debuff on trash packs, boosting my TPS to the point where I'll be dying every other pull.

Cool, brb to respec Unholy! Bubble-On Champion!

Now. What we really need is  Magorea to go frost dps. We dont have a melee haste buff, and I want to start pulling aggro on bosses.

Ew...I tried Frost once when we were in Ulduar and I hated it. As much as I love whack-a-mole style procs (and I do love them), I hate Frost's version which involves sitting on casts (Frost Strike/Howling Blast) until certain buffs pop. Besides, you made a much more compelling argument earlier:

I've actually really enjoyed frost dps.  It feels so fast paced.  You _always_ have a button to push and its a matter of picking the right one.  With the amount of rune power it generates, I feel like I barely have enough GCD's to use all the rune power I'm getting.

Compared to DK tanking, where there are times when I feel like I'm just sitting and waiting for 8-10 seconds to pass so I have runes to use again.  Its like day and night.

We got all of our farm bosses plus Valithria.  Sadly, we did not get the raid weekly quest, because we failed to call out the second tank switch on Festergut.  Still a great raid.

So, we'll want to read up on Sindragosa for Sunday.  I'll try to regenerate cliff's notes for it and post them on the DC forums (which are back up).  Apert and I are not rostered, so make sure someone else internalizes the strategy.

Unholy is the same way, but I like it more. There should be no point where the GCD is not spinning. Sadly, playing with the new recommended Unholy DPS Spec, I was not very comfortable last night. No Reaping meant no Death Runes, and I have been playing with Glyph of Disease for so long that having to refresh my diseases via PS & IT seemed cumbersome instead of just rolling it off of a Pestilence (and thus converting to a Death Rune). So I'll probably shift back to a spec with Reaping and swap out IT Glyph with Disease.
