DK frost PVE
rost Dual Wield DPS (0/56/12)
This spec is meant to dish out single target DPS along with keeping diseases on all surrounding targets. Works very efficiently against bosses. Along with providing a massive Runic Power pool to dish out extra Frost Strikes.
When it comes to applying glyphs in this spec, I highly recommend using the following:
Glyph of Frost Strike (Reduces the cost of your Frost Strike by 8 Runic Power)
Glyph of Obliterate (Increases the damage of your Obliterate ability by 25%)
Glyph of Disease (Your Pestilence ability now refreshes disease durations on your primary target back to their maximum duration.)
Glyph of Horn of Winter (Increases the duration of your Horn of Winter ability by 1 minute)
Glyph of Blood Tap (Your Blood Tap no longer causes damage to you)
Glyph of Pestilence (Increases the radius of your Pestilence effect by 5 yards)
Onto the Rotation guide. This will be more difficult to master compared to Unholy 2H DPS because with Frost PvE, there is no set rotation. Use the following at your discretion:
Plague Strike --> Icy Touch --> Obliterate --> Frost Strike Runic Power Dump (Works best with Killing Machine) --> Howling Blast (Only use when Rime is proc’d) --> Pestilence refresh --> Blood Strike --> Obliterate and Frost Strike Dump (remember to not use Plague Strike and Icy Touch unless you forget to refresh diseases with Pestilence).
On average I get about 15-18k DPS with full Heroic T10 set in Icecrown Citadel (Fully raid buff) and about an average of 6.4k to 10k DPS in Random Dungeon Finder HC. You can mess with the rotation to see if you output better dps, but the way I have mine set up seems to give me the best dps possible.
Gems:
As most players will tell you, Strength gemming is the best way to go for Frost Dual Wield DPS PVE. This is true considering that you must keep your diseases refreshed when possible considering that they rely on high Strength status. You can gem for armor penetration, which outputs better white damage along with Obliterate. You can mix and match these two gems around to help deal with boss armor.
Macros:
I found these macros to be very useful for Frost DPS. You can use the following:
Armor Burst:
/cast Unbreakable Armor
/cast Blood Tap
/cast Horn of Winter
Mainly serves as a Defensive and Strength boost. Perfect to use in a boss battle.
Disease:

/castsequence reset=target Plague Strike, Icy Touch
This is to free up an action bar slot to put for a more important skill.
