Im respecing now after the patch and im trying to decide where to put this last point... DRW or UhB
I read in the patch that the dmg and duration of DRW have been lowered... so Im wondering if UhB would be better

any suggestions (or comments about spec) ?

I believe Samhein has made a good comment about this choice, and I hope he can fill you in with all the details.
I can but provide a rough sketch on how to look at them.
Basically, UB scales a bit better and becomes very good whenever more than 1 target is involved/within your reach. It's however based on that you need to stand close to your targets (which might not be the case in all Raid encounters).
DRW provides great burst dps, it's truly suitable for those "Nuke hard naow!"- moments, but due to its short duration and CD, it becomes more or less a "double edged sword", use it at the wrong time and you've wasted it :P
I'd say the statistics speak largly pro UB, but I'd say it's a matter of preference aswell :>
Edit: After a closer look at your talents, dont you think that Death rune mastery > Imp rune tap? and Hysteria + Imp Blood presence > Bloodworms? (I hate those little buggers hehe :))

To answer ur question, DRW is far superior to UB in more ways then one. Sure its duration and damage are lowered, but its CD is cut in half. Also with the DRW glyph, it gives u alot more breathing room to actually get a ton of attacks off. The key to DRW is to not use it until u are damn near full RP which usually happens after one full rotation(which includes using DC)
The point i would make against UB is that it doesnt really do that much damage from the blood tree...without impurity UB becomes less attractive in my eyes

Drw will most likely do more damage on a single target fight but..
UB is much easier to use and you never end up going past the rp cap which you can if you want to use the proper drw rotation.
On heavy movement fights both are about useless ofc its better to just it/dc durring that time anyway.

Also i would state that your build is rather bad for pve content...there is no reason that u need rune tap...
this is the build that i use

Just posing another alternative, not hijacking, but would the loss from Blood Gorged be too severe if you ended up taking impurity and the ghoul?

That way you could go UB, have impurity, and have the ghoul (glyphed) make up for lost damage on Blood Gorged?

to GenX...bloodgorged is what really completes the bloodspec...if you look at the bonuses for blood gorged, u will notice that you get a hefty damage increase and also 10% armor penetration...also not dipping into blood gorged will not allow u to get DRW. There is a reason people that DRW is a 51 point talent....the damage from impurity and ghoul will not be greater then blood gorged and DRW
