[APL for PQR] 5.3 DK Blood - Action Priority List for implementation into PQR

[tuwhittuwoo]

First of all, huge thank you to all Xelper and all the people who generously give their time to make publicly available profiles.

Anyway, back on track, i've developed a detailed action priority list for a Blood DK tank, as I was unable to find something like this on simulationcraft or other websites. I lack the skill/know-how to implement this into PQR myself, but I'm hoping someone can use this to make a Blood DK profile. While I know there are 2 blood dk profiles already available, i think this priority list will be better (with all due respect to the authors of the current profiles).

I tried to implement all the advice/priorities given at noxxic, icy-veins and elitistjerks, and think i succeeded fairly well, so i reckon this will work really well. here it is:

Action priority list
-- [1] -- "Blood presence", Spell ID: 48263, Conditions: Player is DK and not in Blood Presence
-- [2] -- "Horn of Winter for raid wide buff", Spell ID: 57330, Conditions: Player needs one of following buffs: 57330, 19506, 6673 (ie warriors Battle Shout, hunter's true shot aura, or death knights horn of winter)
-- [3] -- "Vampiric blood", Spell ID: 55233, Conditions: Player HP is less than 70%
-- [4] -- "Lichborne for healing w/ death coil", Spell ID: 49039, Conditions: Player HP is less than 50%
-- [5] -- "Death coil for healing w/ lichborne buff", Spell ID: 47541, Conditions: Player has buff Lichborne (id: 49039), Player hp is less than 100%, Player runic power is more than or equal to 40
-- [6] -- "Bone shield", Spell ID: 49222, Conditions: Player HP is less than 80%, Player needs buff Bone Shield (id: 49222)
-- [7] -- "Raise Dead to call a pet", Spell ID: 46584, Conditions: Player HP is less than 35%
-- [8] -- "Death Pact - sacrifice pet for healing", Spell ID: 48743, Conditions: Player HP is less than 35%, AND [not sure about what sort of checks can be made in PQR, so something like: Has pet, or raise dead has just been used, or pet hp is more than 1 (ie player has pet), or cooldown for raise dead is more than 110 seconds (ie its just been used) - the point is, DK won't have pet unless DK uses raise dead, and only use raise dead when player has less than 35% health so that death pact can be used straight away]
-- [9] -- "Death Strike (<60% HP)", Spell ID: 49998, Conditions: Player HP is less than 60%, Have >=1 unholy rune, have >=1 frost rune

Thats for single target. If someone is willing to implement that into PQR, i'm happy to attempt to make a priority list for AoE as well.

additionally, some ideas which would help optimise a blood dk profile:
1. holding down modifier key to start a pull (eg, for blood dk, according to noxxic: "When pulling, you’ll want to apply diseases using Outbreak. Then you can Heart Strike with both Blood Runes, and use Death Strike", and as another example, for paladin, according to maintankadin threads, you apply sacred shield [applies a 30 second buff], then when the buff has 24 seconds left [ie, 6 seconds have passed], you pull).
2. holding down modifier key to build up blood shield, by spamming death strike. pretty good for when you're about to taunt boss, or just before you take a spike of damage. further explanation on icy-veins.
3. the obvious 'press a modifier key and it switches to an AoE profile'

hope the above is useful.

noxxic is pretty bad at rotations//stats lol,

[tuwhittuwoo]

the action priority list in the op is based mostly on icy-veins rotation list, as that was the most comprehensive and detailed.

but, like i said, the action priority list i posted in op complies, for the most part, with a fair amount of the theory in all 3 websites.
