as we all know, Unholy has ever been the better class since the wotlk started and even in retail still dominates.
So as a FDK main I would like to offer some suggestion to make the class better a lil bit compare to UH.
1- First, the two-handed talent at the end of the tree is completely useless. even in PvP no one is gonna use it (tried, and done it)
2- Change the Blood-Cake blade and switch it to frost talent tree instead of Two-handed one Or make it like we can pick it up after spending 31 talent points. Which obv don’t ask why because that talent is useless for Both UH and BDK. Frost benefits the most from that talent and it’s a huge DPS increase
Surely you remember the 10% dmg nerf on Fury talent back in ulduar which caused people to comeback and play the spec so it wasn’t that much dead.
In Cataclysm though people are just gonna skip to UH and play it the whole expansion and don’t even have to bother switch to Frost, cuz let’s be honest, no one wants to play a dead and weak spec.
So please Classic team, consider these topics.
or sec option stop play frost go unholy
Dont wanna, it’s not fun!

Don’t think they’ll do this, as every class has a bad specc.
Thats just the nature of balancing, 1 specc/class will always be underperforming.
Warr, warlock, mage etc all have an underperforming specc.
Dk won’t get any special treatment.

true but they should make every spec viable so people can enjoy the game.
enough with the min maxing

It is viable. Yes it might be a bit worse than UH, but still it’s pretty ok spec. If you want to enjoy the game - play frost and don’t care. If you care that UH is better than frost - you’re the one who’s minmaxing.

Didn’t say they’re not viable, i said they’re underperforming.
Play whatever you want.
I am surely one who always considers frosty abilities and dual wield fighting cooler than unholy and disease stuff, but what exactly is fun about Cata frost dk? It was really fun in wotlk, but since cata, frost dk is basically a 3-button-class. That’s fun, that’s god damn boring. I am still angry at blizz for sucking the fun out of frost by simplifying it (and that actually happend 12 years ago when cata was retail).
This isn’t helping solve the problem. I just hope your favorite spec doesn’t get hit with a nerf like Fury Warriors did with their mastery.
You’re absolutely right, I understand your frustration. Frost feels like a cold-hearted version of Fury Warriors. The rotation and all is enjoyable, even if it’s not the best fit for PvP. What’s even worse is that they allow a spec that dominates in PvP to also dominate over you in PvE; it’s just not fair.
Rune management for Frost is everything, IF you think UH is a skillable class you’re absolutely right, but Frost is the same as UH but in a different matter of difficulty.
UH doesn’t have to worry about runes in Cata and all thing spec does is around cds and if you do it right you get rewarded with high dmg.
same thing with Frost but Rune management makes it rewardable as well but Frost gets punished cuz some talents are in the wrong tree and that makes it less fun because you do your thing but the outcome is less than or unenjoyable of what you thought.
but it is simple option you reroll or go space thet good simple thet
Isn’t the purpose of this forum to collaboratively address and resolve in-game issues, especially if they significantly affect the majority of players or if there are valid reasons for things to function differently? 
at least Fury always scales with gear no matter what at the end of expansion. if you go and look at some fury warriors back in Dragon soul HC runs, you see they really competing with OP fire mages, rogues, shadow priests and some how they pull they weigh up.
But Frost really doesn’t have anything besides Pillar and that alone is not enough
every spec is viable, they wont change a thing just for you.
Looks like you dont even enjoy your main spec.
You wanna parse and top meters or kill boss and get loot? pick one
I think the only thing that makes frost performe “worst” than unholy is the RNG with procs… Unholy just have one, frost depends more of procs…
You can performe Well with unholy without rune management, but you can top meters with It… Rune and Runic Power management it’s the core of a good DK in 3 specs… Just Frost IS more punished…
Btw, think you can clean content and do a decent amount of damage as Frost, i recomend everyone play the spec they want, you performe better if you like what u are doing, even if they spec IS nerfed. 
Can you please show me this statistics? Fury is unplayable in cata. Even with gear.
It worked for Rets and Ferals in wotlk. Whine enough and you will get buffs.
Buff Destruction plz.

Parse? dps meter? I don’t even have my character locked in on Warcraftlogs you can go check .
what I’m saying is, the class gets punished based on huge RNG and doesn’t feel FUN the way it should. who cares about dps, i can top meters if I want to but not when my spec feels bad to play.
