How you play Blood Death Knight
Your buttons, most important first
More enemies: Blood Boil more often: it hits every enemy around you. Keep Death and Decay under the pack.
Biggest mistake: Death Strike at full health. It heals for the damage of the last 5 seconds, so press it after a hit.
Hero talents
San'layn (best this season): during Dancing Rune Weapon, Blood Boil once, then just Vampiric Strike and Death Strike.
Deathbringer: Reaper's Mark first, then Dancing Rune Weapon. When Marrowrend lights up, use it before it runs out.
