No, actually. The other DK's are just being careless.
They're wasting their time if they're trying to build runic power, considering the ratio on DnD is pretty poor comparatively. (Assuming they didn't spec while mentally impaired)
Other than that...
They're competing with you for the aggro, as the skill is high-threat, and they're already DPS.
Right, so... the only reason I can see for a DPS DK to enter a pull with DnD is to compensate for their small !@#$% size by maximizing their damage on the DPS Charts because as I see it, they'd be much better off sticking to the more damaging rotation to get rid of single mobs faster.
But, heck, that's for team players! Right?
-_- You're right, they shouldn't be using DnD, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I've run with people who have some really bizzar builds that deal tons of dps with DnD, most didn't use it until the tank had thunder stomped or consecrated, but they still used it constantly and swept the dps very easily

to borrow from this guy, -_-
First, you must completely disregard this.
Secondly, D&D is a huge boost if there are aoe pulls. If they are doing this for pulls of one or two, then its probably a waste. Otherwise its a good idea.

DPS DK's that use it are padding the dps meter. If you pay attention, they will likely be the same people linking dps meters into party/raid chat after bosses with "overall data" that includes all the trash up to the boss.
There is no reason for them to use it. Its a tanking ability, nothing more.

ok, when I said bizzar, I just meant different from the basic talent build I see so many people using. The few DK's I've seen who know what they are doing with DnD really can blow me out of the water, even on bosses, not just overall.

DnD at the beginning of a pull if you are dps is ignorant and very upsetting to most tanks. However, it is a dps increase especially for unholy and blood. Blood uses it to make up for lack of aoe dps. Unholy uses it because they can. The optimum way to do it is PS/IT/Pest/DnD this allows the tank to get aggro and your diseases spread. DnD for unholy is very nice.
However Frost dps should never be using DnD. HB and BB are more dps for those. For blood the rotation is the same PS/IT/Pest/DnD than they can BB continuously.

Do you guys really have problems with other people dropping DnD early? maybe if they drop it BEFORE you pull. after i've dropped a DnD on the pull, only thing that will pull off me is a prot paladin. and ^&*! them.
