IMO, this is how you gimp DK dps so it doesn't outperform the "pure" dps classes.

The 2 rune strike abilities looked to be on par with MS in terms of damage but could could be spammed 3 times in 10 seconds (3.3 sec spam) as opposed to 6 for MS (5 if you waste talent points) if you setup the rune blade to ignore a rune type.

Of course you get to spam something else with your remaining two "off" runes but it means possibly lowered dps.

Makes the death rune talents and shortened CD rune talents look more appealing now.

"More powerful, less costly than regular weapon enchants", I wonder if they will be cheap enough to the point where we can swap them between fights.

Issue with that is you can only put the enchant on at a Runeforge which as far as i know are only located in Ebon Hold.

I'd assume that you cannot swap the enchants between fights since they require going to Ebon Hold's runeforge to swap...

Teleport to Ebon Hold, get a lock to summon you back.

Of course, the locks might be a bit miffed that they have to spend 5+ shards just for the DK to switch runes all the time.
