[...] So I read over the Big Bear Butt Blogger post today entitled: An open letter to a Death Knoob. It was a fun post but really it just kind of outlined what a lot of Death Knights are going through, which is, learning how to play an integral raiding class from level 55. It can be a bit challenging if you’ve never played a taking class before, and it can be really frustrating for folks you’re running with. It helps if you’re in a good guild that’s willing to help you get the experience you need to learn the ropes. But if one of those aren’t around, getting some reading in can’t hurt. Well except for the repair bills and the noob comments, but come on, if you’ve been playing WoW long enough to have a level 55, then well you know.

I seem to go the other way in that I’ve spent most of my time as Frost spec, and although it seems counter-intuitive for anyone starting off as a Death Knight, once you have Obliterate and Frost Strike, you actually get more damage ignoring Plague Strike entirely. Using an IT-Ob-Ob-BS-DUmp runic power into Frost Strike, repeat until target is dead. You start the cycle by hitting Blood Tap, which gives you the Death Rune you need to run the first cycle.

Your second rotation is messed up. If you use PS, IT, IT, IT, IT then you are left with an extra Unholy rune. A better rotation would be:
PS, IT, BS, BS, HB
PS, IT, IT, IT, HB
