Diseaseless Blood spec lives?

Everyone knows that diseaseless blood was supposed to go away in 3.1. Well I am here to tell you that I think they just might have made it better. Now instead of using Oblit you use Deathsrike and get the added benefit of self healing while doing rediculous DPS.Last night I tried a 51/13/7 spec on our 10 man Naxx run to see how Blood was stacking up and to my suprise I was able to pull some pretty good DPS without any disease application. Tonight I am going to shuffle the talents around to take full advantage of a diseaseless spec and see how it goes.

This is the spec 51/0/20

I am also curious about 51/10/10 Im not sure if 10% more to deathcoils is worth the loss of Necrosis and BCB. I suspect it might be in this case because this spec is all about HS spam with DC procs.

Major Glyphs:
Glyph of Deathstrike
Glyph of Deathcoil
Glyph of the Goul

Minor Glyphs:
Glyph of Corpse Explosion
Glyph of Horn of Winter
Glyph of Raise Dead

Rotation:
DS-DS-HS-HS-RP Dump
HS-HS-HS-HS-HS-HS-RP Dump

This rotation stays the same pretty much for single target or AOE thanks to HS cleave + DC procs. The only difference is on AOE pulls to make sure to burn Corpse Explosion whenever possible.

I am not 100% sure this is actually going to hold up, but I did pull over 3k DPS overall on recount last night(10 man Naxx military wing). I am by no means the best geared DK so I consider this to be decent. I will post more after some testing.
