This ranking is based on the viability and strength of the various DPS specializations for the new raid in Patch 9.1, Sanctum of Domination.

Some classes are better than others at the high end for raiding, and inevitably, a meta will exist. Take this information for what its worth. World of Warcraft has never been perfectly balanced, and Shadowlands is no exception. That being said, if you take the average rank for the specs in the charts that do represent DKs, you get Blood in 19th, Unholy in 14th, and Frost in 13th. r/wow: World of Warcraft on Reddit Curator is a mechanics check more than a DPS check, you can get in 4 evocates but you need to be strick and tidy on your 'shit on the ground' placement, I killed it on 4 evos on my first kill, we still had enough room for maybe 10 seconds more of fighting. It should also be noted that all three DK specs are not represented as it was impossible to differentiate between the DK tanks and DK dps in the data. But in my opinion, if none of the top players are investing the time into making a toon and raiding with them, it says something about their viability. It should be noted that Frost Mage and Subtlety Rogue did not have enough data for the statistics and engadget made a point of saying both data sets were not reliable. Engadget took immense amounts of data from World of Logs and compiled it to show top dps specs for ICC. I noticed there wasn't much in this forum section so I thought I'd contribute something I've used to make choices for dps.
