Notes

  • Because of Spell deathknight butcher2 [Improved Death Strike], this becomes a standard part of Blood DPS and Tanking rotations.
  • Other specs use Death Strike to heal when necessary and not as part of their usual damage rotations (e.g. if the healer is out of mana and cannot keep you up) or, if blood specced, to generate Death Runes when needed. Its main purpose is to heal, not to deal damage.
  • While tanking, if it is possible to stand idle for a few seconds without losing aggro, it may be best to wait until you take damage before using Death Strike; this will make the heal worthwhile, and spare your healer(s) some time and mana.
