Tell me why this build would stink

It's not all filled out yet with equipment (kinras, relequin, kjalnar), but for the sake of argument, all 3 DK lines have all passives. So:

Here again, I don't think I see this type of build...why not?
fb:
deadly clock
venomous claw
molten whip
flames of oblivion
shrouded daggers

bb
endless volley
noxious breath
stone giant
barbed trap
burning talons

having at least one skill opens up some additional bonuses like Mountain's blessing...I just don't see builds like these online. Is there something I'm missing as to why not? Thank you.

    Is this for next patch? If it's for this patch why do you have Burning Talons on a StamDK style set up? Why do you have two spammables? (Stone Giant and Molten Whip.) In fact.... why are you using Talons and Molten Whip?

    Flame Lash works better since you can get half off Power Lash procs on everything off balance and immobilized, and even then you're on a bow backbar so wouldn't Bombard be better for mass immobilization? Unless you're doing group support then okay I can understand wanting the synergy.

    It would stink Because you have Noxious Breathe?

    Ya this is all for group. Burning Talons was the only DoT I could find in that skill line truth be told. Molten Whip + Flames of Oblivion stacks 3 seething fury, so that's why that's there :)

    It would depend on your rotation a bit but keeping up talons is rough on mag sustain on a light armor mag dps build, and I would guess it'll be even worse on a medium armor Stam setup. FoO and whip together might also be a bit much if you're casting both.

    I mean, this is pretty much the meta build right now, minus a couple skills.

    Talons isn't great because A. Rooting is the tank's job, and in this case it's costing you a self-heal, B. The passives from that line aren't particularly helpful for a DPS, and C. For an extra DoT, there are just better skills that do more damage and use your preferred resource.

    Stone Giant is okay. If you have a support DK in the group, you don't need a source of Minor Brutality, but then Shrouded Daggers loses value as a source of Major Brutality. Personally Stone Giant seems like a better skill overall for that reason, but better players than me seem to prefer Daggers as a spammable.

    For those wondering why you use Molten Whip here, it's just passive for the Seething Fury stacks. #Removepassivesfromactiveabilities.

    In the end, with kinra's on the frontbar, keeping up the stacks was pretty rough sadly :( Also, the spammable daggers was really tough to sustain over a long atronach parse...so eh....still fiddling :)
