Fireblood removes all poison, disease, curse, magic, and bleed effects while granting primary stat. Extremely valuable against bleed-heavy specs like Feral Druid and Assassination Rogue. Forged in Flames passively reduces physical damage taken by 1%, adding extra survivability against melee.

Hardiness grants a passive 10% stun reduction in PvP (reduced from 20%). Combined with your PvP trinket, you can slip away from danger quicker. Blood Fury is an on-use racial that provides a nice DPS boost and should be paired with Unholy Assault to maximize your burst windows.

Stat Priority
Versatility > Haste > Mastery: Dreadblade > Critical Strike

Versatility is your most important stat for PvP. Focus on getting as much as you can, aiming for at least 20%. This will happen automatically through PvP gearing, as most items you use will have Versatility on them. Haste reduces your GCD and increases your rune regeneration rate, allowing for more frequent ability usage and better resource management. It is crucial to hit your 20% Haste breakpoint before prioritizing other stats. Mastery: Dreadblade increases the damage of your diseases and minions, making it valuable for Unholy's sustained pressure playstyle. Critical Strike is your lowest priority stat but still provides value through increased burst potential.
