Also searched as Unholy DK.

This page ranks trinkets for Unholy Death Knights (San'layn) by real usage among top Mythic raid and M+ parses on WarcraftLogs, not simulations. The percentages show how often each trinket appears in those parses. Top players favour Voracious Heart of Ula'tek (30.2% usage) and Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique (16.4%), making them the most common choices. Keeper's Seething Core and Resonant Bellowstone tie at 6.5%, while Tattered Amani War Banner (2.5%) and Gebbo's Bottomless Bag (1.5%) are niche. Note that ilvl varies (311-334), but usage reflects preference, not necessarily item level. When comparing trinkets, focus on the usage column to see what top players actually run, and consider your own gear and content. For a quick upgrade, prioritize the top two if you have them, but don't overlook lower-usage options if they fit your setup.
