Basically, for raiding, is Dancing Rune Weapon better or worse than Summon Gargoyle

From www.ElitistJerks.com, based on generally accepted Blood specs

8.1.2. Talent Choices

There are two common specs used as blood. Currently, a debate exists as to which is best, but they are close enough that both are viable. Different rotations are required to maximize DPS for these two specs, however.

50/0/21: This spec is based around Gargoyle as the primary runic power dump. The additional advantage of Blood Caked Blade and 5% more strength from Ravenous Dead and Shadow of Death make it a formidable spec. However, as will be shown in the next section, a sacrifice made to the rotation due to the absence of Annihilation causes a good portion of this benefit to be cancelled out by the next spec.

51/13/7: This spec uses Dancing Rune Weapon instead of Gargoyle. While it has been shown that DRW scales better with gear, Gargoyle lasts longer and proves to be a more efficient use of RP when compared to Death Coil. Proponents of this spec point to a more efficient rotation than the 50/0/21 spec shown above, while opponents point to the ten “wasted” talents placed in frost in order to be able to get to Annihilation.

From my personal experience, Gargoyle is great, if you want to babysit, where as DRW has the great Click it and Forget it feature. That mixed with between 6 and 12 Heart Strikes, makes for some serious damage output.

Gargoyle is better initially, DRW scales better though so if you had good equipment, go with DRW. At the onset, go with Gargoyle.
