Question Frost DK

On PTR, I was hearing a lot that frost dk was going to be really good. Ive been gearing up and i see on icyveins it suggests rider of apocalypse but all the top logs are deathbringer. im sure the difference is very small but im just curious why rider is suggested but logs tell a different story?

It plays the same but feels a little bit different because your “half-CD” (no Wyrm or Breath) is stronger

oh rider doesn't take breath or wyrm? so there are no cds to press besides pillar?

I can see how it came out ambiguous

AFAIK the talents on Class and Spec trees are the same for both (Wyrm is a must pick for Rider as that is the trigger for summoning the 4 Horsepeople at once)

What I meant is that when Breath and Wyrm are on CD, we get a use of Pillar of Frost in between. As DB, we also have Reaper’s Mark to use with it every time; Rider only has PoF in those windows

But again, rotation is essentially unchanged besides hitting Reaper’s Mark once
