I mean a 70% slow for the cost of 1 rune, and you have a talent that makes it do damage? They should nerf it to 30-50%, at least then it would be on par with other slows that are spamable.
you mean coi with the talent that literally no one takes for pvp because it needs to ramp up in order to do any damage and is so heavily nerfed in pvp combat there is no reason to take it? yeah no if dks are spamming coi with that talent its not doing any meaningful damage. chains is fine pebcak

Yes, a rune. It also costs a GCD.
Both are very precious to us to do damage and one will not accomplish much when one spams with it.
It does 70% less damage in pvp. Any Death Knights who run this talent in PvP are either uninformed or just trolling.
Cold Heart is fine in PvE.
The answer to your post question is: No.

1 rune is a lot more expensive in a dks rune economy than you think
you get 6 that each recharge around 10 seconds later, you need 2 to use obliterate a single time
using 1 rune for 1 single chains of ice stops you from using 3 obliterates, using chains 3 times only allows you to press obliterate 1 single time,

But also peeling for your team which prevents more damage than you would have done with those 3 obliterates, and gives time for your healer to get heals or cc off.
Question, Chillpills.
How the heck did you get the full set already? 
Don’t you get the glad set from Conquest? (Certainly not with 800 conq) I don’t know whom or where do I get the ensemble.
Honestly, if you were encased in magical chains of ice IRL you would have a 99% move speed penalty and you would probably get frostbite too.
CoI needs a buff if anything.

Well IRL you wouldn’t survive anything because mages would melt you or stick ice through your heart, warriors would be so strong they could pierce your armor and just crush you to death, same for dk and paladin, dh would just become an anime protagonist and teleport behind you then shoot lasers through you, etc etc. Point is that this isn’t IRL 
That’s the elite tint. You get the set @ 1800

Yeah, DKs can peel, or they can do damage. But not both at the same time.
Although there could be another class that can intervene, shout, fear, and stun. Then moving right into a Warbreaker, MS, bladestorm combo. That would certainly be powerful.

I liked the warrior so much at the moment I dropped my DK, and have been gearing this guy up.
What you did there. I see it.
Go Night Fae, play a melee cleave in 3s, thank me later.

There could also be a class that has the most powerful ranged slow in the game, grip, ranged stun, ranged kick, ams, amz, that also has a free 20% heal just from pressing sacrifice, meanwhile still competing in damage because the other dps can’t reach any other targets. That would be crazy.

You trade some damage for a huge slow, and it’s not even a huge load of damage that you’re trading it’s just a couple obliterates.
It’s also runic power generation that’s being sacrificed. Time is damage, and we’re sacrificing a lot of it to keep you chained.

You’re not really sacrificing damage because you are taking away big portion of the enemies damage aswell.
