K so i keep hearing about Unholy Blight and its AE damage, but it says it applies a 3 stacking disease to targets in the area of effect. What do these diseases do? i havent seen anyone exactly say what they do yet other then add more disease effects for damage perposes.

they do a minimal amount of damage (cant remember the exact numbers, i specced out of unholy blight shortly after getting it - it's not great for leveling purposes, at least not enough to take it over raw damage improving talents).
The big plus is that it increases your blood strike / obliterate damage, and allows you to stack crypt fever / ebon plague on the target (or multiple targets) quickly.

Thanks a bunch, it was bugging me not to know what they did.

np.
Just a note, unholy blight kills things -really- fast, at least it did when I was testing it.
I picked it up in a respec when i dinged 60 on my DK. Testing it on the gan'arg sappers in the honor hold mines, if I used it with 100 runic power at the start of a fight, the mob would usually die within 4-5 seconds or less combined with my normal plague strike + blood strike + death strike/deathcoil rotation.
I just had to give up a lot of other talents I considered better for general purpose leveling in order to get unholy blight, so I respecced. I'll pick it up again fairly soon, maybe in the next push depending on what talent changes go through.

I was thinking of a build that picked up unholy blight, then went down far enough into frost to get Runic power mastery.
Just had a few other things that need clarification if that would be cool with you. on thottbot death and decay is 2 unholy runes, but on WoWhead its 10 runic energy, wich is it?
Also for pestilence, does it spread all diseases or only one? if it spreads all that would be pretty awesome for aoe damage imo.
Thanks for the help so far. ^_^

death and decay is 2 unholy runes right now (it was changed with the last build). I prefer it that way, since it allows me to use death and decay + unholy blight with the runic power generated from it - or corpse explosion right now, since i'm not specced into unholy blight currently.
Pestilence is being changed in the next build and I have no specifics on that yet... right now it spreads all diseases from one target to up to four other targets in a frontal-cone shaped aoe. It doesnt spread to anything behind you when you cast it.
Still... none of the DK diseases do all that much damage themselves, the only real use for stacking diseases currently is to improve blood strike / obliterate damage. Hopefully the diseases get buffed to some respectable levels - they dont even do half as much damage as warlock dots right now.

the problem with pestilence right now is short range, and that it doesnt effect any mobs behind you =/
