Explanation

Note section does not take into account Patch 3.1 changes.

The tooltip might be misleading to some. For Blood Boil to do damage, the target must have a disease on them. For example, if the Death Knight is fighting three mobs with diseases on all of them, Blood Boil will do damage on all. But if only one of the mobs has diseases, then it will do damage against that target only. Hence one would first stack the target with diseases, then use Pestilence to spread them to nearby mobs and then use Blood Boil.
