Runes and How they Work
For the very new players Runes are the main resources of us Death Knights. We have 3 sets, Blood, Frost, and Unholy. Most of our hard hitting abilities will you these runes. The rest of our abilities are either powered by Runic Power, we gain this through talents and abilities.
For a more detailed explanation on the runes and how exactly they work here is a useful link to wowwiki.

Managing these runes now is alot easier then it was pre-cata. In my next post I will go over some of the Addons best used to keep track of the Runes and Runic Power. As well as other addons I use to make my life a lot easier.
I need to go for now but I will update this post with more things to know about DKs
