Potion of Unbridled Fury for single target encounters and
Potion of Empowered Proximity for 4+ target encounters.
Warlock Healthstones and 
Abyssal Healing Potion should be used when
at low health.
Best Food for Unholy
You should eat from the 
Famine Evaluator And Snack Table (or
whichever of the personal stat foods sim highest).
Augment Runes for Unholy
If you can afford it, you should use 
Battle-Scarred Augment Runes to
increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of these runes

for when you need them.
Starting in patch 8.3 you can also use the re-usable
Lightning-Forged Augment Rune to increase your primary stat by an equal
amount.
