Death Knight questions (world of warcraft)?

Question

I've been basically playing casters for three years - mostly a mage, with a breif affair with a shadow priest and a six month affair with a warlock. I quit WoW a bit over a week after WoTLK came out. I needed something new - and I needed a break. I decided to start playing again, this time as my first melee - the death knight. I am COMPLETELY in love with my DK. I wouldn't trade her for the world, she's amazing. Problem is - this being my very first melee - I'm kind of confused, so I need some help.

For starters - I am unholy, with a few points in blood (I'm only level 74 atm, so not many).
The main stats I have been focusing on (just taking what I've learned from melee over the years) is mostly Strength, with Agi - and Stam.
I've been going for attack power and crit - but I have more crit than attack power right now.
For my weapon, I chose an axe. I'm not sure which to pick >.< I have no idea. But it does amazing damage.
Normally I am the top DPS in the group - which I pride myself in, because I don't know what I'm doing. Even agaisnt other DKs, so I'm thinking I MIGHT have made a good weapon choice..?
I use Blood Aura, even as unholy. I do more damage, and it heals me. I'm not sure if I'm SUPPOSED to be using Unholy Aura AS unholy, but I don't...
Should I?

So mainly my questions are:
Which stats should I go for the most?
Which Aura should I use?
What weapons should I be using?
Any and all help is wonderful, thanks : )

Answer 1

This question is kinda up in the air (or at least the answer is). Un holy kinda of seems to be the Gawd Damn spec. I have seen unholy tank and DPS which is odd cuz most tanking classes need to spec for tank. My 59 DK (8/0/43) is twinked out and owns most ppl she touches and, can some times take down 2 to 3 other players. If she gets a healer behind her step back cuz ppl are running from her. Her main stats are AP, Stamina, Strength and, Agility. She uses the ebon blade two hand-er (Which i haven't found a better weapon) She's mostly a pvp bot and runs in frost Presence for the armour value. Truly the only equal to her i have found are some tweaked out epic pallies in AV (lvl 60's) But like i said she's only 59 so it might be different @ higher lvls. Really it depends on what you want to do with her. Certain stats add to other abilities in the tree. ie strength can add too your abilities in blood and so forth. Hope this helped.

Answer 2

A. Strength is a DK's primary stat

B. You use the aura you have specced for. You use PRESENCES based on the situation.

C. The highest DPS spec includes using a 2H weapon.
