Sorry, I was away for a few days.
Um…what? Secure Ability Toggle?
Alright, I’ll take a look. By default, is on or off? We don’t have any toggle-able abilities, nor have I included a toggle switch in the macro, so I’m not sure why it would hang when on. Soul Reaper is just another CD. Guess I’ll find out what this is all about.

What did I do wrong? Help me please

If this ‘Secure Ability Toggle’ thing works for you, then that might be it. But, I’d say there’s not enough information here for us to know what’s wrong. Or even IF anything is wrong. I’m ilvl 851 now, and I get less than 200k dps on a training dummy, especially after 3 or 4 minutes as the spikes even out. However, I’ll finish a raid at around 280k average. AoE damage can really push us up. Target switching can really drag us down.
Secure ability toggle is something in blizzard UI by default. It prevents you from spamming your abilities and gives it a small hidden gcd

Then I will definitely give this a look.
can somehow epidemic included in this macro?
So, as for Secure Ability Toggle, I have some numbers.
851 ilvl, 875 Apocalypse ilevel, 27.38% crit, 22.04% haste, 36.09% mastery, 1.83% versatility
10 minute parse, single target dummy, Secure Ability Toggle ON: 200k DPS
10 minute parse, single target dummy, Secure Ability Toggle OFF: 205k DPS
Turning this off spiked my burst in the beginning shooting me up to 308k before settling around 250k for a while, and then eventually normalizing at 205k. When it was on I spiked around 260k, dropped to 195k, and actually had to build UP to normalize at 200k.
In addition, running Rift of Aln in LFR with the ability ON I got 235k total. Running with it OFF I got 251k.
So, I have to admit this makes a difference. I’ll update the OP with the addon and this data.

I apologize, but no, I don’t see a place for Epidemic in this macro. I explained it a while back, but Epidemic is a DPS loss in all fights except for 3+ targets. There might be a lot of trash and AoE situations where you will benefit from Epidemic, but as soon as you fight a boss your DPS will tank.
Not to mention that the other talent in this tier, Pestilent Pustules, is really nice to have. A free rune pretty regularly is hard to compete with.
Epidemic, if you want it, is best as a manual ability. Treat it like Death and Decay and only use it in AoE situations, ignoring it otherwise.
Is there anyway to add in more death coils to try to get scourge of the world to proc when you have stacks of festering wounds so you can spam scourge strike even if you have to spam it manually? If you can do that they will increase the dps by a significant amount.
Got a new update for you guys. Grab the new macro in the OP, you’ll like the more consistent Soul Reaper stacks and the quicker Apocalypse pop on your opening volley. It won’t fix the occasional Apoc use with less than 7 Wounds later in a fight, but it does reduce the chances depending on your crit.
This change also does something else. It will more reliably pop Festering Wounds. There is a rumor that in 7.1 our T1 talent Bursting Sores will get a buff. This will make it the better talent in almost all situations over All Will Serve. If this is true, this version of the macro will maximize that. Even if it’s not, if you are lucky enough to score The Instructor’s Fourth Lesson legendary bracers it will outperform AWS right now. However, it does not lower the greatness of AWS if you want to stick with it. With that in mind, I’m suggesting taking Bursting Sores and trying it out. In the very least you will see stronger AoE damage that should outweigh the loss of some ST damage.

So, I thought about this a bit while testing out the new macro version. Right now the Death Coils are used whenever there’s nothing else you can do in that split second, reducing your downtime waiting on runes. It’s also a nice balance between using it all the time vs pooling it for Dark Transformation, both of which are DPS losses. The only times Death Coil is not a DPS loss are if: it triggered Runic Corruption, it’s free or you are Runic Power capped and have nothing else to do for a GCD, or if it procs Scourge of Worlds. Since that is all by chance, a macro can only split the difference.
However, with the change in the macro I just updated you will get more consistent Scourge Strikes (I noticed a floating rune in the rotation. This fixes that). You won’t be exactly spamming it, but you will be making a better use of the SoW proc. Let me know how this works.
Using your new macro I moved Apocalypse right before Summon Gargoyle and am experiencing a 5k-8k DPS increase over 5 minutes. Have you tried that?
I just ran Arcway +5 mythic using the new macro and Scourge of Worlds is procing more often

Do you know where the DPS is coming from? I moved Apoc as high as I did to get it off right away after the Festering Strikes. But maybe it’s now robbing a few Scourge Strikes of their Festering Wounds.

Great. Is it doing what you had hoped?

Okay, run that a few more times to make sure it’s not crit RNG playing nice with you. I suggest a 10 minute parse to make sure it evens out.
So far yes but I’ll have to wait till I run it on a normal EN raid
Actually I think that may be it, I have high crit (35.69%) and low haste (9.54%), so that is probably why it works better for me. I have been using this version of the macro for a about two clears of normal EN and we are in the last boss of heroic. Your new macro just has Apocalypse in a different place than mine was.
In my intial testing of your macro (and playing with Secure Ability Toggle) last night I did about seven 5-minute (Ursoc fight length) sessions on the target dummy. I found that with my currently high crit I get a good bit more dps. I think having that high of a crit is a bad call though as the other DK dps who is only about iLevel 870 (I am 865) and he does WAY more damage than everyone almost all the time (top 99% for unholy as of last raid uploads).
If this is anyone elses situation you might consider switching up Apocalypse location until you can gear for more haste, just to get that extra dps until your gear changes.

The dps is a lot about rotation, I’m guessing he proves scourge of worlds and spam scourge strike when they have stacks of festering wounds, I asked an unholy dk that did top dps in EN Mythic with us
