How to Tank as a DK

I'm not the best tank in the world, but I keep getting questions on how to tank as a dk. This is how I do it. I didn't cover every ability and cooldown, just a few things.

what addon is it where your moves pop up on the screen and it says like "Plaque Strike" ready or "Death and Decay" ready or whatever?

@gowaddict47 The one where the icons pop up is called Doom Cooldown Pulse. The one that says 'ability is ready' is an option within Miks Scrolling Combat Text.

I noticed that you have a "rotation helper" addon. Which one is it and how closely do you follow the suggested rotation?

[ryanxpei]

@Talidraxx I don't know which addon you're talking about. I don't follow any set rotations.

iliiliill andorhal 20k dps on single target fights

Copy spec...

Outbreak > D&D > Pestilence > Death Strike > Heart strike as many times as you can > Death strike whenever unholy and frost runes are available ( to turn to death runes )

* Frost strike whenever everything is on cd to re-activate runes prematurely

Use CD's

instant 10-20k dps as tank...

death grip is good to start the pull but if your pulling a large group and your mastery is not high anofe i would save deathgrip to pull aggro if you lose aggro on trash so keep deathgrip and darkcommand handy on a pull for that
