Death Knight is definitely coming along nicely. Pretty much confirmed that Plague Strike does have the HoT removal on it now, which means Scourge Strike shouldn't have it. This quote seems to suggest it might though: "The only difference between Plague Strike and Scourge Strike is that the latter hits for Shadow damage, greatly increasing its amount of damage. If you spec Scourge Strike, pull Plague Strike off your bar just like a warrior with Devastate will do to Sunder Armor." If Plague Strike does have the HoT removal on it then surely you wouldn't want to remove it from your bar? Yes Scourge Strike does more damage but it can't have the HoT effect on it anymore (surely?). Tad confusing. Having two abilities that can cause HoT removal seems a bit overkill, even with Runes preventing you from spamming it. The new talents are looking pretty fine too.
