Unholy, 2h Frost and Gurthalak

Picked up Gurthalak, Voice of the Deeps last night and I am seeing some very interesting results with it.

On 2 of long target dummy tests that I did with it (20m damage each). I saw unholy at 23kish sustained (still getting used to unholy) and 2h Frost at 24kish sustained. The tentacles from Gurth made up roughly 7-8% of the total damage done but seemed to proc more often with 2h Frost (probably because of the higher innate attack speed and extra melee attacks).

Can't wait to see how this plays out it raids. Although the burst is much lower compared to DW frost unless a tentacle or two pops up. So for short fights Gurthalak may have to banked.

Anyway it almost seems like 2h Frost may be unexpectedly competitive this tier because of Gurthalak.
what spells to the tentacles cast? and also im curious about it more for pvp /drool. I really think stats help out unholy more but i may be wrong
It only casts mind flay but the mind flay does do the same 50% slow as the priest one.
then i could imagine maybe some PvP unholy DKs using it for kiting maybe in bgs. do you think maybe the dps difference could be your skill with UH? i know some people who are trying to start unholy this patch have had a hard time just curious
Ya I am definitely not playing unholy optimally yet. So I would expect to see higher numbers as I get better with its rotation but unholy also gains more buffs from being in a raid than frost does. So with no buffs on a target dummy it makes sense for unholy to be lower.
