With the proc rate of Killing Machine it's up almost all the time, and
with that guaranteeing Oblit or Frost Strike as crits, it's constant BIG
numbers. I know in my Halls of Origination run I did last night, I'd had
27k Oblits and at least one 17k Frost Strike, and that makes me happy(I
never pulled aggro either).

Oh, wow, my numbers were off. The MAIN HAND weapon crit for 25k earlier
while the offhand crit for 16k. That's a single strike hitting for 41k using
quest gear. Again a mob in Deepholm with 60k life, I opened with Howling
Blast to apply Frost Fever and Brittle Bones(I'm glyphed to have it apply
Frost Fever, and since it hits harder than Icy Touch I use it instead if
there's no worries about pulling extra mobs or breaking CC), followed with
Plague Strike to apply the other disease, then hit Oblit while Killing
Machine was active and...that was all it took to finish the mob. While you
may not be AoEing down 10 mobs at a time anymore, I'll definitely reiterate
that Frost is viable(and fun, IMO) leveling spec.

Maybe I should try my frost spec again then. I tried it at first and it wasn't as good as my blood spec for solo questing. I needed to eat or bandage after every fight and I didn't whilst in blood spec.

I have an extra level and better gear now though so I'll give it a go next time I'm on.
