Actually when Lord Marrowgar bonestorms in icc i parry some of his attacks during that time which makes runestrike activates. it crit for me for more than 18k sometimes and i use it almost for an average of 5 times on Lord fight which results an increase of 5% increase dps !

it helps in any situation..i use this for raid dps for a long time now…
doesn’t matter if u are at the boss ass or stomach…its the DK parries or dodges that procs Rune Strike its not the boss dodging your hits…its you dodging his hits on you :P
Rune Strike do more dmg than DC and costs less in RP.
so u can bet its good for PvE. and it procs A LOT.
if u find yourself in Rune CD’S and no RP.. its time for a HOW and/or ERW use.

That’s the reason it says “Some PVP.” Encounters like Onyxia with whelps that aren’t always picked up and tanks that don’t know how to position a boss that can cleave, Heroics with many adds that any DK can OT in DPS gear, But mostly the faction champions in ToC.

How are you using Runestrike in PvE? You can only use it when you dodge or parry and you should be standing behind the boss as pve dps so how can it ever poc?
