I admit to being a bit underwhelmed by the Register to unlock hidden link. To be fair, this is primarily because most of the things covered were Register to unlock hidden link, and the rest was pretty common sense stuff. However, one little comment by Ghostcrawler did catch my attention: His praise of Death Runes.

This caught me more than a bit by surprise, since, if anything, the Death Knight changes in Register to unlock hidden link seem tailor made to discourage the use of Death Runes, at least for Frost and Unholy.

Between the damage buff to Register to unlock hidden link and diseases, and the nerf to Register to unlock hidden link, we have a pretty good chance of seeing people move away from using Death Runes. The major reason to use Blood Strike in both trees right now is to create Death Runes so you can use higher damage abilities on your next refresh cycle. If Blood Strike becomes the higher damage ability, it's not worth it to use the Death Runes on something else. There's a off-chance, I suppose, that you might want the Death Runes handy for an emergency use of Register to unlock hidden link, in theory, but that chance is so slim that no-one's going to want to waste the talent points in Register to unlock hidden link, at the very least.
