[:1]Alright I've looked on 3 different sites including these forums and can't really seem to get a straight answer as to what a solid spec is for PVP.
I don't have the time or resources to theorycraft and figure this out my self. Could someone maybe enlighten me with a few links? A rotation I can learn from would be ideal too.
Thanks in advanced.

Also, check out my specs
and remember the reforge rules
Unholy = Haste
Frost = Mastery
I like Unholy a lot more because, well, I've always used it. I would love Unholy more if we got old Unholy Blight back too, one can dream...
Unholy has quite a bit of utility but lower, if any, burst. Frost has much more burst but less utility. They both have their places in PvP.
Also, rotations are never set in stone for PvP. You use abilities as you need to. But seeing as you're asking nicely, I'll give you a few pointers for Unholy. Because I know almost nothing of Frost.
Keep diseases rolling at all times.
Always have Unholy Blight ticking on your main target.
Empower Timmy the Ghoul as soon as possible.
Use Festering Strike to consume blood and frost runes and convert those into death runes.
Use Necrotic Strike to absorb healing, this actually helps oom a healer relatively quickly if you can push out decent damage.
Use Scourge Strike when you're going for a kill.
Wow thank you both! Those 2 posts were more helpful than some of the guides I've read!
If anyone else wants to contribute, please do! Thanks again!
Some things for uh that are not immediately obvious-
-Deaths advance is a buff put on you when your runes go on cooldown not a effect that persist while the runes are on cooldown
-icebound fortitude and lichborne break effects on activation you don't have to preempt application.
-unholy frenzy=cc break not dmg buff cast on team mates when there sheeped and sutch
-You can overheal you ghoul and the death coils still count tords shadow infusion, say you got 3 stacks and 56 runic power and no runes or horn/empower you can heal ghoul to get 2 coils off to buff him up faster, its not worth solely healing him if he's at full just to buff this up but it does help in situations like the above
-ebon plague bringer counts as a 3rd disease(did not know for longest time), the 9% is static on this as well at ranks 1 and 2 so 1 point is absolutely mandatory 2 is arguable
-unholy blight is refreshed not stacked
-macro dark command targeting focus into horn it will keep healers in combat so can't drink (horn is on gcd dark cmd is not btw)
-necrotic debuff is a 10 second "aura" the healing reduction stacks but the duration is the same for them all if you have used it 3 times in 9 seconds after the first if it hasn't been healed through if you nectrocic again the totall amount stacked up will last another 10 seconds as long as you reffresh this it will not go away incramentaly due to time
-don't expect gargoyle to do what you want it to it has a mind of it's own.......(agro!?!?!?GTFOWTF, and ya hunter pets growl and sutch will piss you off)
Thats all I can think of that wasn't obvious to me right as I specced into uh the first time after power lvling to 85.
#showtooltip Summon Gargoyle
/use Vicious Gladiator's Badge of Victory
/cast Unholy Frenzy
/cast summon gargoyle
/focus pettarget
/petfollow
/petattack
/petattack [@focus]
is a good macro for gargoyle if he switches target simply press it again to put him back on your target i also would take unholy frenzy part out because its better to use as a cc breaker then a buff...
Hey listen, here is something you need to consider when choosing what talent your going to spec in for PVP, to me what type of partner or teammates you have is very important.
For instance, and remember this is just a opinion ^^
Frost - Works best with another class that hits hard, Warrior, or a Healer, like a Feral Druid which has great crowd control spells along with heals and bleeds.
For a Frost DK you are going for the Blow out.
Blood - Works best with another class that hits hard also, but you play more of a supporting role with your damage and depend more on yourself for survival by using your heals. A Frost Mage is a perfect match for a Blood DK.
Unholy - Unholy is a run and gun spec, more of a utility player, you have great mobility and bleeds along with cool perks like having a Ghoul and Gargoyle. A Rogue matches very well with Unholy DK's.
Now I'm sure plenty of Trolls will tear this apart but it is just my opinion from playing over the years, but at the very least I hope it shows that who you partner up with in PVP ( ARENA ) works hand in hand with what talent tree you choose.
STRINGS
usually frost goes great with other melee classes while unholy goes well with casters such as spriest locks ects
