Comfirmed!, only works until you depleted all runes, then you can use it, and when you use in a target with 2 diseases only restore 1 rune as death rune instead 2 runes. Tested on Realm Fun.

 

Should work when you have depleted two runes and you have diseases actives on the target.

 

Here a sample at 2:22

Really? I can't get it to work at all. But this is definitely a talent that needs to be functioning, we'd probably see an increase in the number of Death Knights.

[Shepard]

In order for this talent to work we need functional runes, because DKs runes don't work like they should sometimes when I use an ability that costs 1 rune 3 of my runes are being used or when I use Blood Tap i don't get any runes back this goes for Plague Leech too.

 

Bump +

Yeah we need it

[Matukaa]

Definitely, we need that talent to work. As an UH DK I have like 30 seconds offtime when I'm doing white damage + deathcoils waiting my runes to fully deplete whenever I want to go into my burst phase. Plague leech would solve that problem. Bump for this fix

30s offtime as Unholy? :( I don't get that. Do you always stay in Blood or what?

I just Outbreak+Festering+death coils to get blood tap charges. When I get enough and my pet procs, I pop gargoyle and all my burst, reapply poisons(+blood bloil if multiple targets) and then pop necrotics, death coils and soul reaper untill target is dead. Most of the time, they die before I get my 3rd necrotic in.

 

Anyway, bump for fix.

Yes but all of these problems can be fixed if DK runes are fixed. The runes are the root of all of DKs problems right now, if they are fixed DK will work 100% just like they do on retail.

 

Bump for fix!!!

Depends. I usually run to my target's feet, beacuse I don't want to grip instantly, use Chains of Ice, Outbreak, 2 Blood Boils, Icy Touch, 2 Scourge Strike, spam some DC, Icy Touch again, and now I'm waiting for my 4 death runes. Until that, I kite, use DC to get blood tap, howl of winter, another DC, maybe scourge strikes. If I got my 10 Blood Taps and 4 runes, only then I use my burst with Gargoyle, Trinket, and Unholy Frenzy. I spam the 6 necrotics (reapply the dots with plague strike if necessary, but I'll need 1 UH rune for Soul Reaper) which makes like 400-500k absorb. In the meantime I charge with my pet, stun, spam some DCs and stuff like that. This can kill anyone, I know that, having easy time against healers, but ye, waiting for the 4 runes (8 sec with haste, makes 32 seconds, but when I finish my opening, the first rune needs only 20 sec to replenish, but I have to wait the last one too) takes like 30 seconds. and I cannot afford that if I don't have a healer, or a dual dps is bursting me...

 

Additionally: Don't underestimate the 2 purge from icy touch, it comes really handy in an opening. I never use 2 festering to open. I consider slowing my target, debuffing twice, spreading the dots much more efficient than hitting my target with 2 festering to do some damage. My rotation is a build-and-dump-like rotation, and I can tell you, if you build up, you can bring down any healer without problem. Yesterday I was dueling a 2k+ rdruid and beat him from my first burst rotation. Stacked like 500k necrotics, and he couldn't heal. Asphyxiate, Pet charge (which intrerrupts, if transformed), pet stun, mind freeze, soul reaper ticks, he died. I take my time building up my burst, but when it kicks on, you have no chance surviving :D so ye, 30 seconds at least is my offtime, when I don't use any runes, except 1 UH and dump some DCs.
