Utility scoring for Frost Death Knight. We count every Mind Freeze cast you land; priority kicks (boss heals, mass CC) are weighted 1.5x when we have the data for this dungeon. Death Knight has no practical PvE dispel, so dispel contribution is redistributed into interrupts and CC. CC abilities we track: Asphyxiate, Blinding Sleet, Gnaw. Rough split: ~70% interrupts, ~30% CC.

Three signals: how often you died, how much of your damage taken came from ability IDs we know are avoidable, and how much healing you consumed relative to the group. Tanks aren't penalized for healing received (they're supposed to tank). Deaths caused by avoidable abilities cost extra. The death penalty softens at higher key levels (above +12) because even top players take unavoidable deaths in high keys. Avoidable damage and healing burden thresholds both scale with key level so a +25 isn't compared against +5 standards.

We track the cooldowns every Frost Death Knight has access to regardless of talent build: Pillar of Frost (offensive, ~20% expected uptime). Expected uses are computed from fight duration, then compared against what you actually pressed. Talent-gated cooldowns (ones only some builds take) are intentionally excluded: we don't penalize you for not picking a specific talent. Missing a single major CD can meaningfully drop this category; hoarding it through the whole key is the most common sub-grade cause.

Total casts divided by fight duration, scored against benchmarks specific to Frost Death Knight. Our thresholds for your spec: below 12 CPM = 0, 22 = 50, 30 = 80, 38+ = 100. A high-CPM melee spec like Fury Warrior and a low-CPM ranged caster like Marksmanship Hunter will have very different benchmarks; we don't apply a universal curve. Low CPM usually maps to rotation gaps, over-movement on mechanics, or extended time with no valid target.
