Binds
Unholy is no complex spec with a complex rotation that wants to ruin your life.Unholy is a spec with exactly 4 buttons
Basics:
Scourge Strike - Used only when you have 3 diseases up - You want to bind it on your most spammable key [mine is 2]
Festering Strike - Use it to convert frost & blood runes to death runes and use Scourge Strike [you want to bind it somewhere close to SS]
Death Coil - Your top damage ability,use it always when you have a sudden doom proc/all runes on CD or when you're above 80 RP [You want to bind it somewhere comfortable to spam-click it.
Outbreak - dots your target with blood plague & frost ferver - use it when you can't keep your dots with festering strike anymore - bind it on a key where you usually bind rapid fire for instance
Advanced:
Dark Transformation - You should keep this on your pet as much as possible,increases its dps by around 1-2k and enhanses its abilities uses 1 UH rune [use it after 2 festering strikes] - bind it on a close key to your movement
Death and Decay - Does more damage than SS,but needs an aim - always have it on CD,unless you have to CC targets - bind it on a comfortable key [pref shift+X/W]
Pet Control - Use the standart [control+1-9] keys or make various macros to control your pet
Unholy Frenzy - This is a tricky buff,but to keep it simple use it on a feral druid or a warrior if they have more DPS than you as it enhanses them more than it enhanses you. - macro it with potion consume etc or macro it to your guild warr/feral:
#showtooltip Unholy Frenzy
/cast [target=Sindragosza] Unholy Frenzy
If it doesn't work try:
#showtooltip Unholy Frenzy
/target Sindragosza
/Cast Unholy Frenzy
/TargetLastTarget
Summon Gargoyle - Use it during a trinket proc/during timewarp/after you drank a potion etc. [It's a good thing to pop all your CDS in the very beggining so you can have them ready in 3 minutes when the boss is at around 50% hp]
Army of the Dead - Use it in the very beggining - This is a super strong cooldown that increases your dps by around 3k and shouldn't be bound anywhere[you can do so if you want tho.]
Horn of Winter - Have this bound somewhere you tend to click a lot
Anti-Magic Zone - Use it when your raid needs a strong defensive cooldown against a strong boss ability - Chimaeron Feud/Maloriak Flame/Magmaw Heroic shadow blast thingies.. etc
