Blood Death Knight Tank/Wotlk 3.3.5 End game Guide.

This is a Wotlk end game guide!!!
----------------------------|Rotation|----------------------------------
The Rotation is the order in wich you use your main spells in order to have maximum amount of DPS/Therat/HPS depending on that if you are a damage dealer,tank or healer.
Now in our case we are tanks so this rotation will help us generate the maximum amount of threat and as a Blood Death Knight tank you have 2 diferent types of rotations one for single target and one for multy targets:
Single Target Rotation:
Icy Touch --> Plague Strike --> 2 Times Heart Strike --> Death Strike
and than you just use Death Coil as your Filler.
Multy Target Rotation:
Icy Touch --> Plague Strike --> Pestilence --> Blood Boil --> Death Strike
!!!Now i would advise you to use Death and Decay as an opening skill every time you encounter a big pack of mobs and continiue on with the rotation for multy targets,because it generates a big amount of starting threat wich is in big help.
----------------------------|Helpful Macros|----------------------------
You would want to bind Rune Strike to the skills you use the most.
Now the way you do that is by using macros and here are the macros you need:
1.Binding Rune Strike to Icy Touch:
#showtooltip Icy Touch(Rank 5)
/cast Icy Touch(Rank 5)
/cast Rune Strike
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear(); UIErrorsFrame:Show()
2.Binding Rune Strike to Plague Strike:
#showtooltip Plague Strike(Rank 6)
/cast Plague Strike(Rank 6)
/cast Rune Strike
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear(); UIErrorsFrame:Show()
3.Binding Rune Strike to Heart Strike:
#showtooltip Heart Strike(Rank 6)
/cast Heart Strike(Rank 6)
/cast Rune Strike
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear(); UIErrorsFrame:Show()
4.Binding Rune Strike to Death Strike:
#showtooltip Death Strike(Rank 5
/cast Death Strike(Rank 5)
/cast Rune Strike
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear(); UIErrorsFrame:Show()
These Macros are a must if you want to go as a Death Kngith tank and it doesn't matter what spec you are they work perfectly with all Death Knight tanking specs.
Here is another helpful macro wich will make using Defensive CD's easyer and faster.
#showtooltip Vampiric Blood
/cast Blood Tap
/cast Vampiric Blood
/cancelaura Blood Tap
This macro will use Blood Tap and Vampiric Blood at the same time as you all know Vampiric Blood increases your total amount of HP and the healing you recieve from all sources,as for Blood Tap it just activates a Death Rune wich can be used as Blood Frost or Unholy Rune.So basicly this macro allowes you to use Vampitic Blood when all of your runes are on CD.
----------------------------|Talents|-----------------------------------
Tanlents
This is what your talents should look like.
These talents give you the maximum amount of threat expetualy on a single target.
------------------------------|Glyphs|----------------------------------
Now as far as glyphs go you would want to go with:
Major Glyphs:

Код:

Glyph of Rune Strike
Increases the critical strike chance of your Rune Strike by 10%.

This Glyph will make your Rune Strike crit more offtain witch will make you cause more threat.

Код:

Glyph of Icy Touch
Your Frost Fever disease deals 20% additional damage.

This Glyph will increase the damage of your frost fever wich will help you alot when facing big pack's of mobs.

Код:

Glyph of Death and Decay
Damage of your Death and Decay spell increased by 20%

Now about the Death and Decay glyph,you use it only if you don't have T10 2 set bonus,if you do have the T10 2 set bonus you can replace it with some other glyph sutch as:

Код:

Glyph of Death Strike level 55
Increases your Death Strike's damage by 1% for every 1 runic power you currently have (up to a maximum of 25%). The runic power is not consumed by this effect.

or...

Код:

Glyph of Rune Tap level 55
Your Rune Tap heals yourself for an additional 10% of the effect, and also heals your party for 10% of their maximum health.
