* Death Coil damage has been reduced by roughly 10%.

* Talent Specializations
o Blood
+ Bone Shield now has 4 charges, up from 3.
+ Crimson Scourge has been redesigned slightly. Instead of a 50/100% chance to make the next Blood Boil free when Plague Strike is used on a target with Blood Plague, the talent now gives a 5/10% chance to provide a free Blood Boil when the death knight lands any melee attack on a Blood Plagued target.
+ Heart Strike now deals 175% weapon damage plus 15% per disease, up from 120% plus 10% per disease.
+ Improved Death Strike now increases the damage of Death Strike by 30/60/90%, up from 15/30/45%.
+ If Death Strike is used while a Blood Shield is already active, the new absorb will stack with the old one instead of replacing it.
+ Scarlet Fever now applies via Blood Plague, rather than Blood Boil.
+ Will of the Necropolis no longer refunds a Blood Rune when it resets Rune Tap's cooldown. Instead it makes the next Rune Tap free while Will of the Necropolis is active.

+ Dark Transformation now increases pet damage by 80%, down from 100%.

+ Desecration is now also triggered by Necrotic Strike.
+ The ratio of runic power return from Magic Suppression has been reduced by roughly one third.
+ Rage of Rivendare now increases strike damage by 12/24/36%, down from 15/30/45%.
+ Runic Corruption procs while the aura is already active now add 3 seconds to the existing aura duration, instead of simply refreshing/overwriting the existing aura.
+ Shadow Infusion now increases pet damage by 8% per stack, down from 10%.
+ Sudden Doom is now triggered only from main-hand auto attacks, and is normalized according to weapon speed rather than having a fixed percentage chance.
+ Unholy Might (passive) has been reduced to a 5% Strength increase, down from 10%.
+ Virulence has been redesigned. It now grants 10/20/30% additional disease damage.
* Glyphs
