DPS leveling specFollow

the main thing is it probably depends somewhat on playstyle.
On a Pale Horse (20% mount speed increase) is the best levelling talent because the idea is all specs can kill targets at around the same speed, and the majority of your levelling time is travel.

It also has better AoE and mitigation than blood, and usually has very little or not downtime.
I'll let someone else post a spec.

If you are looking at going unholy, you could give this a shot:

some people feel like unholy is a 'tanking' build, whatever that is. With a build deep in unholy, it really strengthens your diseases. It will not matter if it one mob or many, unholy will add some nice damage. As soon as you get enough runic power, hit unholy blight, keep it up as long as you are in combat. if you plan on going unholy, i would also recommend getting the glyph of arthiric binding. it costs 30 venture coins.

There are two things I would suggest that are not talent related. They are both profession related. Either get herbalism for the 2k HOT, or max out your skinning for the bonus to crit. The other thing i would recommend is maxing out your mining skill. this will do two things. You can sell the ore and make a nice profit and you can get your own mats for gear if you know a blacksmith for any of the titansteel items. Farm the mats early, that way, by the time you hit 80, you will be ahead of the power curve.

If you are having a good time, why change? Don't try to fix what ain't broken.

Seriously, If you take time to level professions and make some gold at the same time you are leveling your toon, there really is no such thing as "faster".

Seriously? I mean.... seriously?

Dude, it's a leveling spec. How much could it possibly matter if you moved a few points around?

Besides, if you already took the points you should be able to tell US how valuable all that self-healing is or not. Go run some quests and come back with some anecdotes.

You don't NEED it for leveling, but the way I see it, take it and get used to having it... actually I honestly don't really take advantage of it very often while raiding, it doesn't affect my rotation. I like to level with something at least similar to what I'm doing at 80, just to minimize the learning curve once I do hit 80.

When I'm out running dailies as 51/13/7 I notice that the death runes aren't normally needed, mobs die by the time I've started the RP dump (or during), so I wouldn't say it's essential for soloing unless you're seeing mobs outlive the first cycle on a regular basis. But DRM is an absolute must in my opinion for deep blood builds in groups. 2 x HS (which cleave) are essential for groups now that CC is all but abandoned.

It should also be noted that the MaxDPS rotation and talent build for Blood Death Knights (also 51/13/7) does NOT include Death Rune Mastery, and consequently does not utilise a 4xHS sub-rotation.

I figure the MaxDPS guys know what they're talking about, so in non-AoE situations (where the new HS Cleave would be preferable) It may simply be a bad idea to rely on DRM.

Particularly if you have the Sigil from Heigan, Obliterate is a much more attractive proposition.
