This started as a sort of Frost-spec Death Knight build, but became it's own thing. Was worried about using AoRP as a passive but it turns out this thing runs through the 5-Man Powerhouse with Purple Gang on hard no problem. Could probably be tweaked to be more tank or more DPS, but I wanted this toon to do a lot of buffing/support, so thats what I went for. Run in Hybrid role or Support Role, if you've got a dedicated Tank.

The way you want to rotate this is as such:
Form of the Tempest on+Ice Sheath up -> Decimate to large mob -> Sigils -> Ice Barrier -> Grasping Shadows -> Cleave Cleave Cleave Cleave Cleave. Keep them feared with Grasping Shadows, heal as necessary with Lifedrain on feared targets, keep rotating BCR/RR and if you run into some serious trouble pop Masterful Dodge. You may want to drop Grasping Shadows FIRST if you find you are taking too much damage setting up your defenses, because a Feared enemy is not an attacking enemy.
The build relies entirely on critting with Cleave for DPS. It's getting buffed from FoTT and Ice Sheath. You're looking at 1.5-3k per swing here depending on what's running.
On the other hand, what's keeping you alive without a passive defense is the combo of AoRP and Sigils of Ebon Weakness. As you level mix in Sentry and Sentinel Auras and throw on the Chill effect from Ice Sheath and you end up with some pretty gnarly damage mitigation. It's actually excessive since your enemies will be to Feared to actually need the damage mitigation. All while you Cleave and Lifedrain their souls away. Winning.
You will also be offering up a large layer of damage mitigation to your allies (Remember AoRP + Sigils + Sentry Aura + Sentinel Aura). This is why it's a "support" toon, although you're not offering up much healing outside of Vampiric Sympathy.
Energy management isn't great, honestly. MSA should proc from Decimate/BCR fairly regularly, but you may want to gear accordingly.

Could you look at my build, "Miss Hard-to-Kill" ... should be the thread right under yours, and help me form a formidable hero using HW and a plethora of powers to gain survivability and deal a significant amount of damage?
Theme is not important, just a powerful girl with a mixture of abilities and an amazing strength to perform these tasks. think Deadpool with DC hero powers IE: superman, Zatanna, Green Lantern.
