Build Explanation

-Blood DPS Build. Focus is on DPS. -

It provides DPS from Blood Caked Blade, and Ravenous Dead in the Unholy Tree, and it uses a lot of common Blood Talents.

Reason for Vampiric Blood / Enrage stems from two reasons.

Reason 1) Vampiric Blood
Vampiric Blood is useful for healing in raid/instance, when conjoined with Raise Dead + Death Pact.
Reason 2) Enrage / Dancing Rune Weapon
Reason Enrage is thrown in is because Enrage + Dancing Rune Weapon is a probably the greatest DPS output overdrive you can achieve, along with all the other talents.

Now why Dancing Rune Weapon over Maxing Morbidity? I feel that with "Glyph of Dark Death" adding a 15% bonus in damage over the 10% Bonus, it more then makes up for the loss of 5%. Also in a Boss Fight, when using Dancing Rune Weapon, it places two of each of your diseases on a target, due to using Frost Strike or Plague Strike, both you and your rune weapon will use it, double the bonus given to Weapons. So if you do the math.

Heart Strike - 50% Weapon Damage + 10% per Disease. Usually = 70% Damage. With Dancing Rune however it stems out to 90%. For 17-18 Seconds.

In my opinion it is a worthy trade off for 5% loss to Death Coil output.
