Damage specialisation · Tier B in PvP, 3.7% of the sample
A complete live guide built from rated Battle.net profiles: bracket-specific talents, PvP talents, gear, gems, enchantments, statistics and importable builds. PvE raid casts are never presented as PvP advice.
Secondary stat split across the 9 best-geared synced characters. Averaged per player, so one heavily geared character cannot define the answer for everyone.

The three dedicated PvP slots, measured from Battle.net profiles.
Putrefy applies a Necrotic Wound to the enemy when it deals damage, absorbing 8% of all healing received for 15 sec. Max 3 stacks. Adding a stack does not refresh the duration.
7 players
Anti-Magic Shell is now usable on allies and its cooldown is reduced by 10 sec.
5 players
Shadowy tendrils constrict an enemy's throat, silencing them for 4 sec.
5 players
When the target afflicted with your Dread Plague is healed, you are also healed for 10% of the amount. Additionally, Dread Plague deals 200% of its remaining damage to the target when dispelled.
2 players
Sudden Doom also causes your next Death Coil to deal the damage of your plagues an additional time at 25% effectiveness and reduce the target's movement speed by 45% for 3 sec.
1 players
Reanimates a nearby corpse, summoning a zombie for 20 sec that slowly moves towards your target. If your zombie reaches its target, it explodes after 3.0 sec. The explosion stuns all enemies within 8 yards for 3 sec and deals 10% of their health in Shadow damage.

Common high-rated choices grouped by purpose. This is a PvP toolkit, not a fake raid rotation.

Only 9 synced characters play this specialisation so far, which is too few to report pick rates from.
A percentage drawn from a handful of players is noise wearing the costume of data, and a reader cannot tell the difference. This fills in as the background sync works through the ladder.
Army of the Dead and Frostwyrm's Fury call upon all 4 Horsemen to aid you for 20 sec.
Increases the range of Death Grip by 10 yds. Killing an enemy that yields experience or honor resets the cooldown of Death Grip.
The explosion effect of Putrefy extends the duration of your plagues by 3.0 sec and deals 35% of the damage they would deal over that time instantly. Putrefy now applies your plagues to unaffected targets.
Reduces the cooldown of Anti-Magic Shell by 20 sec and increases its duration and amount absorbed by 40%.
Summon or empower Lesser Ghouls to form an unholy army of 8 for 30 sec. While active, summoning a Lesser Ghoul will instead execute Orders based on nearby enemies. Death Orders Lesser Ghouls strike with you, dealing 812 Shadow damage to your target. Epidemic Orders Lesser Ghouls erupt in viscera, dealing 320 Shadow damage to nearby enemies. Deals reduced damage beyond 5 targets.
Shadows guide your strikes, increasing the damage of your Scourge Strike by 25%, and causing it to grant you Clawing Shadows up to 4 times. For each stack of Clawing Shadows, your Scourge Strike chains to an additional enemy. Each subsequent chain deals 10% reduced damage.
Focuses dark power into a strike that deals 3,214 Physical damage and heals you for 32.00% of all damage taken in the last 5 sec, minimum 11.2% of maximum health.
Absorbs are 30% more effective on you.
Targets in a cone in front of you are blinded, causing them to wander disoriented for 5 sec. Damage may cancel the effect. When Blinding Sleet ends, enemies are slowed by 50% for 6 sec.
Call upon your Death Charger to break free of movement impairment effects. For 10 sec, while upon your Death Charger your movement speed is increased by 100%, you cannot be slowed below 100% of normal speed, and you are immune to forced movement effects and knockbacks.
Your ghoul's attacks have a chance to apply Enfeeble, reducing the enemies movement speed by 30% and the damage they deal to you by 12% for 6 sec.
Your blood freezes, granting immunity to Stun effects and reducing all damage you take by 30% for 8 sec.
Smash the target's mind with cold, interrupting spellcasting and preventing any spell in that school from being cast for 5 sec.
