Unholy Dps on PTR?

Hey guys...ive been working on leveling my DK to dps at 85 as unholy and looking at some of the PTR patch notes im a little worried, so can anyone whos playing on the PTR tell me if your dps has gone down by much or is it pretty marginal?
I haven't tested in a current content raid setting, but on a tank n spank fight (i.e. Argaloth) you can expect a 500-1k dps increase.

With the changes to mastery and the way it interacts with Scourge Strike and our diseases/DnD, the 'nerfs' to our strength and strike damage were offset completely.

Adding the new Runic Corruption uptime buff, the damage that our actual 'toon' puts out has been increased by a noticeable amount.

I say 'toon' because the main nerfs were to our ghoul. Our ghoul was 30-40% of our dps that was able to completely ignore most raid mechanics, which was our main advantage over other dps classes.

So in short: our personal damage capabilities have gone up, but we are now more affected by fight mechanics, bringing us more in line with other specs and classes, which is completely reasonable and I think blizz did a great job re-balancing Unholy as a dps spec.
Alright awsome :) ive always loved unholy so im glad.
