EU+US Am I the only 101 Unholy Dk?

Grandfathered
I'm thinking of running a dps plate twink next (already got a balance druid and BM hunter that rip through dungeons and feel safe in Suramar). Was thinking of doing Blood or prot pally, but I already have an 835 strength trink, head, and crit ring all with leech, so I am thinking maybe being a tank is going to be massive overkill. How much can you pull as UH?

400-500k single target sustained dps and 950-1.3m aoe dps. All dependent on cd availablity
 
Your deathknight is so sexy... 880 boots with gem slots and multiple 870s... I can't believe I'm saying this, but I truly wish I could afford the gold for all of that.. just laid down $790 on my classes.

That isn't even an option on my server. I have only seen one 870 piece on the AH ever, and they want 500k for it. All my twinks are sporting 835-850, mostly with leech.

Hey man, the ilvl is for show. The real utility in gear rn, is gem with tertiary. 835s are the most common so there are more chances to proc both of those. Sometimes i honestly contemplate buying a full 835 gem/leech set just to see the difference

I know, trust me. My druid has 3 sockets and 23% leech, and he is basically unstoppable... and I haven't equipped his pants yet because I am hoping to find something better than the 840 with no tertiary I have in my bags. he also has tons of speed built in, which was just a bonus, I don't go looking for it, but if it is there I won't argue. Here is his page:

My hunter is about the same :
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/bonechewer/shadowshotz/simple

He is at 18% leech, but with my spirit beast healing me and all the little extras you get for being a hunter (like having an infinitely-battle rez-able tank in my pocket) he is also pretty much unstoppable. I have a replacement 835 six-feather fan with leech on it, but I haven't decided if I want to equip him with it or keep it for another toon...maybe make a Shammy or something, because even at his current 18% he is almost un-killable.

You have the right idea man. I cant wait till higher ilvl gear is more accessable so that i can see those two destroying even harder. Bro the sockets with leech is such a pain to come across, im glad you're snagging them up!

Yeah, I pretty much snag everything I can find with leech at a reasonable price (tons of people don't pay attention or know any better and don't add a premium for leech). I figure if I don't use it, I can resell and make a killing. Just yesterday I bought an 835 mail boot with haste for 8k and sold it for 40k. I had no intent on making another twink, but now that I have a helm, strength trinket, and crit ring with leech, how can I not level a plate twink? ;-)

You should make a prot pally man! Ive wanted to for quite some time. The self heals are crazy and being 101. I cant imagine how hard they are going to be to kill. Nobody really plays them either so its going to be harder for people to counter at 101

I thought about that, but don't know what their offense is like. It will be nice standing in a dungeon with 25 elite mobs whacking away on me and doing no damage, but I don't want to be whacking away on those mobs with a wet noodle for 5 minutes. That's why I figured maybe a dps plate class with enough leech would possibly be just as tough to kill but be quicker at killing. You think prot pally or blood dk would put out enough offense to not put me to sleep?

Well as you can see on the armory thread, most tanks are B Dks, they pull enough dps to kill shit at a decent rate, i cant imagine any twink tank would be much different damage wise. There is a lot of utility as a prot pally though, so i feel the survivability will be rediculous. Leech may not be as viable as lets say strictly mastery, but leech as a tertiary will always bring more healing than not. If youre anything like me, youll find it fun af to roll a weird class/spec nobody else does just to see how good you can make the class so people start branching out and playing other specs to open up the bracket. As for dps man, have fun with it. If you like the playstyle of a plate dps roll with it and chances are it will turn out awesome, because it will be a spec you like and with enough gear/stat combinations, itll be strong enough to do whatever it is you want to do
 
Also an Unholy DK - Ilvl 821 or so depending on my loadout, with a heavy focus on leech (43%). I can basically pull the entire HoV from Heimdall forward, on both sides, all the way to the 2nd boss, and aoe them with epidemic/outbreak in a pull just fine. The dps does feel a bit low single target though.

Do you have an armory link? And idk why you feel your dps is low, what is your dps? What should sustained single target dps be in your opinion?
 
My dps sits around 200-250k on a good pull with good procs, and around 150-190k on a bad RNG pull.

edit: single target.
I know what your problem is. You have mix matched gear, my ilvl is only 822, and i pull twice your good proc dps regardless. You might want to switch to all plate gear even though it might take you a while to fish it up with leech. Your strength is going to increase drastically along with your dps output
