wowi had an article today about current blood dps. They were saying that it's possible, if you are in Heroic gear or better (approx), that you could do a disease-less dps rotation. This is odd considering all DK builds desire diseases on the target. But I decided to test it out, as I am in Heroic-ish gear.
Standard rotation: IT - PS - HS - HS - OB - DC (Runic Power dump) - HS - HS - HS - HS - HS - HS - DC (RP dump) - repeat (and use DC immediately any time Doom procs)
EZ-Mode rotation: OB - OB - HS - HS - DC (RP dump) - HS - HS - HS - HS - HS - HS - DC (RP dump) - repeat (and use DC immediately any time Doom procs, which will happen sooner)
On paper, the EZ-Mode doesn't look easier, but you don't EVER have to watch your disease timers and you don't ever have to refresh them. That's one less thing to keep track of.
So, what did I find out? EZ-Mode rotation did about 100-150 MORE dps. Pretty nutz, if you ask me. The drawback is that you can't throw in Death Strikes to heal yourself if you're taking AoE dmg from a boss or add, since Death Strikes kinda rely on your diseases. It is also useless for AoE if adds suddenly show up. So use this information at your own risk. While questing on regular mobs, though, I think it's great to be able to switch my rotation back and forth as needed (using standard rotation when i need to heal or if i need to pull with Icy Touch, otherwise, using ez-mode rotation).
