Looked at the DK class changes for legion. Good God, the popamole is out in force. Not only are they reducing runes to a unified resource, they also reduce then to only having one disease. (Plus it looks like self-heal might be restricted to blood spec.. Uh-oh).
On the plus side, my rotation will be simple now.
Obliterate, obliterate, obliterate, frost strike, frost strike, frost strike, repeat
[Edit]
They're removing frost/blood/unholy prescense too. Christo. They really DO want us to spam obliterate and nothing else

RIP WoW as a half-decent game that's maybe worth playing circa Wrath.
RIP WoW as a thing that exists at all after Legion launches.

For frost, I think it actually will get more interesting with the addon. Right now you spam HBs and only obliterate when both unholy runes are caped. Using Obliterate for single target instead of HB spam all the way sounds better to me, the interaction between KM Obliterates, rime and HB is also an improvement over the "please don't proc KM while I press Obliterate to dump my Unholy rune" shit we have right now. Having both remorseless winter and glacial advance in the preview sounds like they add more stuff for frost, which is great since the specc is lacking in abilities. In short, I don't think it is possible to make frost less complex as it is right now, it's the go to spec for noobs.
The runes change is actually a good thing (because butchered runes system we got in cataclysm), it allows us more burst and control. A good resource system should allow for tactical decision making and not restricting your abilities. Thats why good players use blood tab, it gives you more control over your runes, allowing you to maximize your DPS as DD or survivability as tank. The removal of the presences on the other hand is something I don't understand. Blizzards reasoning is utterly retarded and I really hope they change their mind or give DKs a way to compensate the loss of survivability on demand blood presence provides right now.
You don't obliterate at all as frost right now. Unless you're 2h for some reason. It's generally HB, runed icy touch (dispel), death strike (self heal, and apparently that is becoming blood only in legion), death siphon (ranged selfheal) plague strike (if nothing else is up) to build rp, with all your actual damage coming from the frost strikes which scale better and can't be dodged/parried.
Obliterate doesn't do enough damage as DW to justify the loss of utility you'd get from spending your runes elsewhere. Not sure where you get the runner tap from. I checked the top arena players and about 2/3 of them run runic corruption. Are you a PvEr by chance?

Faster regen = more runes converted to rp = more runic power. While blood tap is good for being able to burst at a specific time, runic corruption generally lets you burst more often during a match. Since everything else I'm doing revolves around building a full rp buffer so I can run a burst cycle, the higher amount of rp generated over time trumps a few extra runes on demands sometimes

RT provides slightly better rune regeneration. RC is more random and can be better, but it also can be worse. But statistically RT provides more runes. The difference is negligible though, the choice boils down to either control or ease of use and I can see why the later is more popular in a hectic pvp environment.

DK was an easy class to tank with in Wrath. No idea about what changes they made in the interim, though.
Rune tap is only better in practice when your target stands still and let's you run an optimal rotation. 
When the enemy is actively trying to be a pain in the ass, runic corruption is more reliable.
I'm sure runic tap is fine for pve. But pve just isn't very interesting to me anymore.

Metzen's 12 year old daughter asked why daddy objectified women. He had to change the model.

Yeah I read that... she said something like 'Why are they all in their bathing suits?' He should have replied, "Because they look sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxy!!!" in his Elite Tauren Chieftain voice.

Wait I thought Bester was joking. 
Wow, put into your place by your own 12 year old daughter. How pathetic can you get.

I hope so. They should just let WoW die.

I very much doubt it. As long as the game provides high revenue (and it does), Blizzard will keep churning out expacs, every one shittier than the one before. I can see WoW being the king of MMOs for at least 5 more years, so this means we should see at least 2 expansions after Legion.
I'm already thinking of preordering it lololol agawd someone kill me

There's nothing shameful about playing WoW if you are into competitive skill-based MMO PvP (what game has a better system? Maybe Guild Wars 2, but WoW is much more popular, hence more events and popularity in general). However, aside from that, there is barely anything interesting left in the game... I'm looking forward to class orders though, that should add a lot of single player content and make use of those 10+ alts everyone seems to have nowadays.
