As written, if Rune Strike is currently toggled on and you hit the macro it will cancel the Rune Strike. You need a ! prefix to stop this happening. e.g. #showtooltip Obliterate /cast !Rune Strike /cast Obliterate Also your guest poster mentions she often forgets to use Death Chill. I just macro it into my Howling Blast ability. #showtooltip Howling Blast /cast Deathchill /cast Howling Blast Lots more ideas here http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=7840744379&sid=1&pageNo=1 [Moody] I saw that. I thought I'd read somewhere that the toggle was no longer necessary - but now I can't find where I read that. The macros including runestrike are slightly wrong.

[Moody] I saw that. I thought I’d read somewhere that the toggle was no longer necessary – but now I can’t find where I read that.

I think I'm still doing some things inefficiently from my 2H Frost PvP days -- I use Pestilence to spread Frost Fever around when HB is on CD, which is just silly -- but I've learned that Howling Blast > Death and Decay in almost every pull (I follow up with D&D if there are incoming mobs I missed.) I'm not looking forward to having to go DW to stay a Frost tank, but if I have to, I have to. I like my DK swinging a big honking axe -- always have, always will. The HUGE Frost Strike crits warm my cold soul. Oh well. Bookmarked for great justice! This is really a great article.

But, I do love getting to roll twice on each Obliterate attack to get Rime Procs, which is why I go ahead and Duel Wield when tanking more than one mob. I switch to a big two-hander when tanking bosses so that I get get as much threat as possible in a short amount of time, but the extra chance for Rime when DW against trash makes it totally worth it regardless of looks.
