Could you clarify the 1.3:1 ratio of crit to haste, specifically do you want 1.3:1 ratio of crit and haste % (i.e. 13% crit chance to 10% haste increase) or 1.3:1 ratio of crit rating to haste rating?

Basically  you want to balance your stats and have as much  crit / haste as possible since they work really well with eachother.

Will frost really be ok with just crit/haste? I got crit/haste on almost every item now but as i lost a ton of mastery my frostkills feels kind of weak now.

Frost isn't okey no matter what stats you go with because the spec itself is weak right now but if you have to choose between versatility or mastery go with versatility after crit/haste.

Im just wondering why is mastery so low on the list.  

Right now im trying Icy Talons, Frozen Pulse, and Runic Attenuation with crit/mastery, and basically in my rotation i try and make sure i never have any runes up so that frozen pulse is up as much as possible, my damage is not amazing but it does seem to be just a little better in single target dps. frozen pulse can sometimes reach 4th in the overall damage.

Mind you i do agree this spec does make a lot of the buffs in the artifact weapon useless.

Because Frost is all about Killing Machine procs now and in order to get more you need to stack Crit and Haste for that. Then you have versatility and mastery which more or less do the same and increase your overall damage. Regarding Frost i don't consider it seriously because it's half finished job done with the spec, they left frost with no tools and even now having to ignore Obliterate is mind blowing. Even if they buff it and make it equal or better dps wise than Unholy right before Mythic ( which i doubt considering how the encounters in EN work )  i wouldn't want to play it.

It seems for me the change to Killing Machine was a huge nerf overall you have to get crit before you can have some dmgstats. You need a crit with autoattack to have a chance for a km-procc that's so ridiculous. :x

Even so i have 38% crit and 20% haste now but overall i dont see any difference from when i reached 110 and had almost no crit/haste. Killing machine proccs are fucking rare. Worst, even with heroism buff i cant notice any increase in km-proccs.

When my autoattack crits does anyone know how much percent the proccrate is?

Not sure but shouldn't be as bad as you describe it even though i haven't touched Frost since they butchered the spec on beta.

Guest FC for OH in Legion?

The recommendations for enchants are Razorice for main-hand and Fallen Crusader for off-hand, as they have been since last expansion.  But since one of the artifact traits, Bad To the Bone, increases the damage of your Razorice enchant by 45%, is it still better to have FC on your offhand?

Frost isn't about Obliterate anymore.

Frostscythe and the other abilities scale really well with Mastery.

Tested a full Mastery build over the Weekend (45% Mastery - 25% Crit - 9% Haste) and it's damagewise much stronger than the "normal" Obliterate build.

Singletargetdmg absolutely competitive in Mythic Dungeons; Raids still will be bad. (did Arcway and Court of Stars with MM Hunter, Fury Warrior and WW Monk)

My Char http://eu.battle.net/wow/de/character/blackmoore/Pestilencos/simple

You should test it by yourselfes. It made me smile :)

As someone holding several #1 rankings for frost DKs, I'm qualified to say that this guide needs to be changed to show a pure machinegun build for every scenario as the best possible setup. Not sure how to contact the creator of this guide, but here are my logs: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/rankings/character/15049895/latest/ (Make sure to change to frost as the default option shows my unholy log).

Generic comment being mass posted over the comments threads guys.

We are aware of the changes and our writers are working hard to update the guides to suit what has changed. Currently, there is a lot of work still to be done and it's unlikely that every guide will be up-to-date immediately. Expect a flood of updates over the coming days that will answer all of your questions about what is now best after X change, in time for the reset next week.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Can you give me an example please? I'm new to the class/spec. Obliterate seems to perform better on single target, but I was thrown off by the following bullet-point posted under the "machine gun" Frost DK rotation guide - 

http://puu.sh/rnaKa/bdf1452255.png

When would I use obliterate over frost scythe?

From what I can see, you should read the bottom of the Mastering Your DK section:

3.6.4. Tier 7 Talents

If you are using Obliteration Icon Obliteration, the rotation has two phases, depending on whether or not Obliteration is available. Outside of Obliteration, you should perform a normal rotation based on the priority listed above.

When Obliteration Icon Obliteration is about to become available, you should pool 50+ Runic Power in preparation for it, make sure that you do not have a Killing Machine Icon Killing Machine proc active (by consuming it), and then use Obliteration. During Obliteration, you should only use Frost Strike Icon Frost Strike (which will proc Killing Machine) and Obliterate Icon Obliterate (which will consume the proc), alternatively. If you get a Rime Icon Rime proc, you should use Howling Blast Icon Howling Blast to consume it before you use Obliterate again

It seems like it's missing from the rotation, if it should be there I believe. Will pass this on and see if it is an error!

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't see where Rime procs could enter into the machine gun rotation as is.  Per your recommended rotation, Frostscythe is used at all times reguardless of KM procs, so where would Obliterate enter in for potential Rime procs?

I've put it into our notes as an issue, it will be looked into in the near future and probably updated along with the guide updates next week after the big changes!

      We've all seen the giant Hallowfall crystal and just how great it looks, but as it turns out, the light emanating from it actually changes in a sort of strange day/night cycle, and we get a really awesome transition into Void light animation! 
      First off we can see a snippet of the change in Blizzard's official short preview of the zone:
      And then there's this extended look at the switch, showcasing just how impressive the animations are, by PreachGaming's Chunkeyninja:
      And here's a slightly better look at the Void to Light transition, courtesy of Kexman:
      The exact timing on the cycle isn't 100% clear, but MrGM noted how it works on the Alpha right now, with a 3 hour cycle, as the Void part remains active for 30 minutes:

      Hopefully we'll also get some lore to go with the transition, as the light into void thing is pretty thematically interesting, as well as being really visually impressive.
