Gearing UH w/Blood/Generic Legends

[RaiTaebeck 0]

So, I'm currently maining Blood DK and that's the spec that I've gotten my 4 legends on. I do occasionally use UH and was wondering which of my legends would be most effective for it. Just a foreword, all of the gear that the legends replace is about equal; all 915-920 and don't cause any major stat changes so its not like using one legend over another causes me to use a bad piece. I have Soul of the Deathlord, which is the one I use most on UH, and I have  Shackles of Bryndaor, Archimonde's Hatred Reborn, and Prydaz, Xavaric's Magnum Opus. Does the Shackles passive work on UH, if so, could that be a better boost for Val'kyr[Dark Arbiter Talent] (b/c you can cycle more RP)? Other than that I'm just wondering which out weighs the other, STR or the secondaries?

Death Strike is not in you basic UH rotation, so wether the wrists work or not is not very important, since they boost a minor attack (and i'm not sure you can always heal for more than 15% health with DS in UH)

I'd use ring with the neck, just for the stats, and since the 2 others have less-than-even-ever-useable effect.

For weights, go on https://www.raidbots.com/simbot and do it yourself, it should be nice enough :)

Thanks for the advice! The reason I thought about DS was b/c it's the came cost as Coil and the refund might allow for a better DA, meaning even more effective use of a burst CD, but good point about the heal req., I forgot about that. Thanks again.

It's worth mentioning that in the comparison of DS legendary vs. Prydaz, Prydaz is renowned for being an insanely high budget legendary. Even with a purely defensive effect, it's still very much middle of the pack due to having such a huge amount of secondaries on it. Something like bracers could never compete on a raw stat PoV.
