    1. Character Info: Name, Class, Main Spec (Link armory): Stackattack, DK, Blood DPS. http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Sargeras&cn=Stackattack

    2. Explaine your talent selection (theorycrafting source, specialization choices etc): After reading http://elitistjerks.com/f72/t61176-blood_simple_day_music_died/ other threads and looking into logs of players who use my spec. I decided to go with it and love it. All though, I can do any spec.

    3. Your Age: 20

    4. Current professions and their raid benefit: 450 JC and BS, gives me extra gems and slots.

    5. How long you've been playing WoW and what PvE progression you've accomplished: Started raiding heavily in WOTLK. I have done 12/12 Normal ICC 25 and have xp with 9/12 Heroic.

    6. Describe how you theorycraft your class (websites, spreadsheets, etc): Well I stay up to date with sites like EJ, and look into different spread sheets around WoW. I also look at the logs weekly to see if anyone is trying something different that is working.

    7. Occupation and living arrangements that impact raiding (family, schedule, etc): I am a student/part time stock clerk. Live with my GF and friend. I am good for all raid times.

    8. Guild History - where are you leaving and why: I am the tuskarr, didn't like the way it was ran. No changes were made when the same mistakes were made over and over. Orgins, could not make their raid schedule anymore.

    9. How did you hear about us? List any friends/references within the guild: WoW forms and Trade chat.

    10. List your raid consumables and your method for maximizing them: Indestructibly pots, pots of speed, Hearty rhino and flask of endless rage.

    11. List scheduling conflicts (include times for possible weekend 10mans): None

    12. Provide your raid damage/healing performance. Examples are Recount Screenshot with personal breakdown of attacks, WoW Web Stats (WWS), or World of Logs: Orgins did not keep Logs, and the ones with tuskarr are expired. I do at the very least 10k on every fight, but have done up to 13k.

    13. Provide a screenshot of your UI: For some reason whenever I take an SS now it only takes a pic of my desktop, so the only ui pic I have is an out of date one. http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/7486/44636398.jpg

    14. Can you take constructive criticism and being call out on mistakes (both in and out of raid)? Yes

    15. Final comments you feel could help your application: I am dedicated and will never be late for a raid. I also have smarts and situational awareness.

    Currently we have 2 Full time Raiding Death Knights. I'm Unholy and Oranwaru is Duel Wield Frost. What is your tank gear like? What is your DPS on non Patchwerk Style fights like?

    Personally I'm not a fan of Blood DPS, but I know with 100% Armor Pen it can compete with Unholy not so much with Duel Wield Frost with 2x 264 Weapons. Although it is pretty close. For Blood Sigil of Virulence seems to be the better choice due to Sigil of the Hanged Mans ramp up time. Do you switch your sigil out depending on a fight? If so list which fights use which Sigil.

    Also in your UI I noticed you don't have a Macro for Hysteria and Dancing Rune Weapon to target yourself. You really should it make it so much easier to it one button then having to target yourself and cast the 2.

    Could go like this.

    #showtooltip Dancing Rune Weapon
    /cast [target=player] Hysteria
    /cast [target=player] Dancing Rune Weapon
    /cleartarget
    /targetlastenemy
    /cast Empower Rune Weapon

    you do the target=player for DRW so it spawns where you are and attacks from the back rather than the front.

    I do switch my sigil out depending on the fight, any fight that is really just a single target fight I will use Hanged man. Blood DPS does compete easily with the two according to logs and spreadsheets I have seen. I have played with some of the best DK's on the alliance frost/blood/unholy and have no problem staying with or even passing their deeps. However, I do not have a problem doing any of the three. I have two frost weapons from ICC as well. I also have xp playing all three. My tanking set is @ 5.6k GS with I think 40-41k unbuffed. I'm actually gonna start MS tanking to get that up in pugs and such.

    I don't see anything wrong with this App. You pretty much would have to earn you spot if your willing do that I have no problem giving you a trial. We recently lost a DK due to work schedule so we only have one now.

    Hey Sorry had a long delay on this. My brother, from emeinence/seriously casual, Nexus, and GODS, Fracture; and I went to bonechewer to raid qwith some IRL friends in United Strength, to get some time in and some more heroic xp. But decided to come back due to the server just being terrible. You can't even pug 10 man ToHC or ICC on it. If you guys still need a DK and a Boomkin let me know. My gear has gotten a good deal better and I have gotten my tanking set to 6k as well. Both of us can make 100% raid schedule as well.

    *BTW I went frost, but can play anything.

    *The boomkin has played since beta and has killed every boss in the game but LK. He puts out 13-15 k on every fight. He also has a tanking and resto OS.

    which character do you prefer to raid on? how is your resto gear. We just lost a resto druid due to work opportunities. We also lost a 100% raiding Fury warrior to work also so I'll talk to other officers see which we need more. Like I said before you definitely have the experience we are looking for. It is just a matter of which Class lol

    Detoxz, L2Read. :p

    I think he means both. The DK is himself, and the Druid is his bro. Although, maybe I misunderstood that. Who knows lol.

    I agree, great gear and good experience.

    Couple little things. You need to swap out a couple gems for 20 EXP gems (you want to be at about 25-26) As Im sure you're aware, you have a balls ton of hit lol, but Im sure most of it is unintentional.

    You should use Sigil of Awareness as well. Especially with the ammount of ARP you have, it will greatly increase your DPS over hanged man (hanged man is also situational, it can be lackluster or just plain bad for modderate to heavy movement encounters.

    No issues with your spec really, there are a few different frost dps specs, each with slgiht variations. Personally im tempted to just drop the point I currently have in Chill of the Grave for one more in Black Ice for my 25man pve spec. With all the resto druids and disc priests in a 25man raid (the exact number will varry) I find myself RP capped far too often when doing a normal DPS rotation/efficiently making use of procs. But again, no issues with your spec, they're only slight varriations.
