I've been doing some tanking on my 83 DK and I have a question about the
cooldown on Death Strike (it's actually a rune cooldown, right? The ability
itself doesn't have a CD.)

I often notice that I'll be waiting for the CD on Death Strike to finish
and it's almost ready and then somehow the cooldown *increases* and I have
to wait several more seconds.  What makes this happen?

The only thing I can think of is that a Death rune expired and reverted
back to a Blood rune, thus making Death Strike wait longer for an actual
Unholy or Frost rune.  Is this right?  (Can Death runes expire?)
