I've yet to see a DK that pulls off effective DPS whilst keeping themselves at arms length.
In all three speccs, blood/unholy/frost, a VAST quantity of damage is produced through melee damage. I understand where some people are coming from- runic power is generated on the most part from melee abilities (death strike/heart strike/scourge strike/obliterate, etc) and of the two funadmental diseases DKs have, one can only be applied at melee range.
DKs are firmly melee. Show me a specc that works with little reliance on melee abilties, and I'll give you a cookie.
It'd have to be the one, the iconic, "Sword of aThousand Truths" -southpark. It grants instant mana burn and +80 stamina! Garunteed to own anyone....I mean anyone.
