Your spec is missing some key points that really define a deep Unholy Build. First off, No Wandering Plague? You have high crit, and Wandering Plague is great for AoE as well as single targets (it can hit the original target, in case you did not know). You're nerfing your DPS by not taking it, and you dont even have to do anything special to utilize it--the best kind of talent.

Also, no Unholy Aura? For shame. It is one of the, if not the best talent in the Unholy Tree and arguably one of the best talents we have available to us. Only tanks are really excused from getting it (and even then, it's still up for debate) because they have other priorities. If you're going to be Unholy DPS, there is no excuse to not have it. Even if you have multiple Unholy Knights you raid with (also a bad idea because Ebon Plague wont stack and someone will get screwed), you should each get it. Redundancy is not always good, but in this case it is excellent.

Also, your decision to max out Outbreak (or even put points into it) makes me cringe. 45% on Plague Strike? It's so weak it would need something like 300% damage to make that talent useful. Also, think about how often you Plague Strike in a rotation. Once every 17-18 seconds since you have Virulence. The Blood Boil aspect is okay, but even then 3 points for it is too big of a sink.

It looks like I'll have to just type out my Desecration speech so I can copy/paste it. Desecration is a powerful talent, but it costs a lot of points and is situational. If the Desecration effect followed you around (like Unholy Blight) it would be killer. Also, I revisit the Plague Strike issue. Once every 17-18 seconds in a rotation. That means you're losing 5-6 seconds of uptime (assuming perfect GCD maintenance) every rotation. It is not a totally useless talent, but you can get away just fine with 3/5 or by skipping Virulence so you Plague Strike more for 100% uptime. (though that will heavily modify your rotation).

If you think I'm misinterpreting anything, say so. But right now it looks like your current talent set up is pulling down your overall DPS.

Sorry. =/
No WWS are around of me raiding, due to my schedule and whatnot.
I can try to schedule a 10man Naxx/EE/OS, If you would like but i can't promise anything in that matter.

Yeah, a WWS of a 10 man would be great even. With transfers, it's much nicer to be able to review your performance with data. Thanks.

And to your input, I greatly appreciate it. I've honestly never had anyone criticize my spec and make any sense to it. Even though i honestly don't understand the Unholy Aura, seems pointless and just wasted two talent points.
And as far as Unholy Blight goes, I'm spec'd into it, yet i never find myself using it that often. >.<

Btw, I can respec anyway that is necessary to you guys, Or what you would think my dps output would be more from.
Just let me know.
And thanks for the input so far.

Alright Quinnie.
I'll try my best to get into one, after class tonight or tomorrow.
But I'll have to see, hence why I said I can't promise anything. >.<

I completely understand, even if you can provide data from a 5 man - granted you won't have buffs that in a raid setting you normally would but we can see your rotation at least. Would much more prefer a 10 man or higher though =)
