Been experimenting blood DPS once again. It's decent I say, very good single target DPS. Dancing Rune Weapon does around 33% of your damage instead of the acclaimed 50%, and it accounts to around 7-9% of your damage.
For me, Blood DPS is a D tier class overall, but not bad in terms of damage maybe a B or if you are very very good, squeeze into A Tier. Better than Frost DK BiS IMHO when it comes to pure tank and spank, but just falls short to Fury's and Mages. And if you are good enough, would top the DPS charts on straight up tank and spank.Edited: March 11, 2026

By the way disregard what I said. Blood DPS is in no way better than FDK at any point. I met the top 1 FDK in the server and got humiliated on every facet of DPS. Cheers. It's a D tier class with D tier damage.

Hey, but don’t be so pessimistic! A lot of setup is needed for Frost to be able to beat a BiS BDK in DPS.
Also, I’m quite sure that BDK DPS is actually better than Frost on arguably the most important fight in the game, LoD LK. But at the same time both are so much inferior to SM warriors on that fight that it’s honestly kind of sad...
I still think it’s a great class to play, it “just” requires Shadowmourne and basically full BiS, but you already have that part covered. The main problem, like with any off-meta spec, is getting raid spots. That’s often a bigger challenge than the DPS race with other classes, especially since BDK really benefits from good raids with fast kill times.
