As of right now, this Sigil isn't so great. Depending on spec of course. But, here's what
www.ElitistJerks.com
has to say about it.
-->
6.1.7. Haste Rating
Haste Rating will directly increase the contribution of white swings to your DPS - 1% Haste will generate 1% more auto attack DPS.
Unlike many other melee based classes, Death Knights draw a much smaller portion of their dps from White damage. As a result, Haste is a much less desirable stat. As you can also see, the value of Haste is effected by the spec. Abilities like Necrosis and Blood Caked Blade allow for Unholy specs to gain much better damage per Haste Rating. Additionally, Killing machine works similarly.
While Haste is never a particularly desirable stat for Death Knights, we must remember how it effects their GCD. Because of dense rotations additional haste rating can reduce the strain on a player and allow for a larger margin of error. However, stacking too much of it is also not recommended, due to its low value.
We require 32.79 Rating for 1% Haste

www.ElitistJerks.com
has this to say about the Haste provided by Unholy Presence
-->
Unholy Presence: This Presence is commonly accepted as not being so useful, for anything but PvP.
Due to the fact this Presence grants Haste rather than the Damage % increase that Blood Presence grants it performs significantly worse. Haste is one of the worst Stats for a Death Knight.
Unholy Presence also lowers your GCD by 0.5 seconds, which is not all that bad but in a lot of specs you will not be bound by GCDs, but by Rune Regeneration time so again it loses some of it usefulness.

As far as the Sigil as it currently stands, the Haste it provides is not as useful to us, as DKs because the bulk of our abilities requires we wait for the Rune CD. TBH, for right now, the starter Sigil is probably the better of the two choices you provided. Or, try to get into Naxx, and get the

Since the stats ahve changed now on the SoHD the usefullness of it has increased immensely. Question is: Is the starter sigil still dominant? And then Why would Blizzard make 8 Sigils when there is only two of them that is an actual upgrade from the starter one?
maxdps.com lists this sigil as one of the worst in game right now, much lower than the starter sigil.
btw, good job necro'ing a 6 month old thread.
