I may be wrong, but I got the feeling that Frost Strike causes quite a lot of aggro, so beware when in groups / dungeons.

in conjuction with all the other frost talents this attack hits and crits incredibly hard. and yes, it does infact cause a &*^%(&*% load of threat

causing weapon damage..

does it hit harder on 2-handed weapon?

The Cata vestion of Frost Strike...110% WD +X as opposed to 55%. This may seem OP, however the current frost builds have a lot of multipliers.

LK:
55% base
66.00%--20% Glacier Rot
74.25%--15% Tundra Stalker
82.50%--15% Blood Presence
88.00%--10% Blood of the North
93.50%--10% Black Ice
99.00%--10% Razorice Debuff
106.15%--13% Curse of Elements/Ebon Plague

Cata:
110% Base
127.6%--16% Frozen Heart (inital)
144.1%--15% Frost Presence (counting Improved)
155.1%--10% Razorice Debuff
163.9%--8% Curse of Elements/Ebon Plague

All in all a 54.40% increase in damage without taking more points in mastery into consideration, a far cry from double damage. Given that Necrosis and Blood-Caked Strike are being either removed from range or removed outright, and during Wrath, they accounted for about 8% of your overall damage combined, justifying this hitting harder.

Edit #1: I do not know if there is a max mastery rating and thus bonus that can be attained, I will update in the future when/if I figure that out.

Edit #2: Massive recalculations, given the bonuses effect only the base damage and not the bonus' stacked

Edit #3: Removed the effects of Blood Frenzy/Savage Combat and Ferocious Inspiration/Arcane Empowerment because they effect all weapon damage of all classes, not just a DK's Frost Strike

Tundra stalker and balck ice are getting mixed into a passive mastery bonus called frozen heart or something , that increases frost dmg by 20%

This question is probably somewhat dumb, but being new to theorycrafting about the numbers, what does the "/" in the tooltip parenthesis (namely,(278 * 110 / 100)) means? Normally, it would be "divide", but would they not just write "*1.1" rather than "*110/100"?

It is most likely to avoid floating point variables, since you cannot do .something damage anyways.

If you would notice both weapon damage and the ability bonus are 110% so they can do this:
(2354 weapon damage + 277 ability bonus) * 110%

So avoiding floating point making the math heavier, it would work like this
((2354+277)*110)/100
((2631)*110)/100
(289410)/100
Division with integer variables throws the decimals away.
So you'd get 2894 as the final result without having to work with floating point variables, they are heavier to work with, which with a game the size of WoW quickly adds up. Floating point variables are also prone to cause rounding errors.

I do 12k crits with Frost Strike in Pve (Mainhand + offhand, and I've PvP gear) with an ability that does 50% weapon damage (I know it has many talents that improves it). I know many of the Frost talents are getting removed for Cata, but it's still almost a 60% damage increase for Frost Strike (50% weapon damage to 110%), and it is Frost damage... so, how hard is this ability hitting in Cataclysm? Anyone knows it?

Why does the Blue Mini Jouster effect this...?

So this Spell is independent of the Talent Trees(in other words it's not a spell buried deep in the Frost Tree)?

From personal experience, i must say this is suckiest specialization ever. It really is !@#$ and i recommend not to use this when you are in frost spec. Only use this when Lichborne is on cooldown! Very important!

I guess Howling Blast and Pillar of Frost and several control additions do make up for this total bull%^&* spell. And it is better then Death Coil ok, but Death Coil heals so Death Coil is more important :P

I guess some of you will disagree with saying that you can also use Death Strike in frost spec to heal.
No really, don't even bother. It is that Frost dk deal good damage and generally kill their enemies faster then they die, otherwise this *!@# spell would kill the entire spec.

I do love Brittle Bones, Chillblains and Rime though. Those really compensate for this.

Cheers.

Frost Strike's tooltip should read: "When you press your hotkey for Frost Strike, Killing Machine will proc a split second before it registers, forcing you to do normal damage with your next Obliterate. Haha, try again."

Commento di Taraezor

Due to a Frost DK will have a cost of only 20 RP and that amount will show correctly on the Tooltip. The example above is the default Tooltip.

Additionally, for Frost DKs this spell is not actually the spell you are casting in game, lol. Blizzard usually resort to a little bit of trickery with each of their class/specs and in this case the spell in our spell book, although it appears as "Frost Strike" and has the seemingly correct icon, is non other than Assalto di Sangue. Blizzard sometimes do this for an ability which each spec will commonly have or which changes as you level up.

Unless you are tracking these things with a macro or AddOn then you will never notice the difference!
