What people don't get is:
Have you ever seen Wolverine's skeleton move on it's own without flesh in his body? Sure a nuclear strike would only cause him to heal at different intervals, but that's also due to the fact nothing is stopping this regeneration when falling back to his indestructible bones. However. I have yet to see Wolverine exhibit the ability to, (1) break out of his epidermis and surrounding flesh covering over his adamantium, (2) thusly, his body has shown before, it is not truly immune to every single chemical in massive dosage, and (3) adamantium's more malleable and cheaper cousin, Carbonadium, has devastated his healing factor before.
A fully prepped Deathstroke would then carry on his person:
-Knowledge of pressure points in Wolverine (since it's unlikely Wolverine in berserk mode would somehow pull out of his skin. You Wolverine fans really need to know might does not make right in this battle. At all.) And knowledge of his physiology/mutant powers in bulk.
-Carbonadium tipped bullets. These bullets will house explosive rounds or only carbonadium.
-Nth armor to absorb blows (can absorb strikes from Lobo; an individual that can do harm to majestic level superheros such as Superman). Promethium chain-mail to absorb some portion of Wolverine's attacks. (depending on the new 52 or previous version of Deathstroke. Since no specifications were made on whether or not we could use only one version's abilities and equipment, I assume.)
-Extremely deadly poison mines used to hinder Wolverine if approaching in berserk mode (or to test his efficiency). Remember, Deathstroke has prep time. He can plant multiple mines and traps for Wolverine to fully evaluate his target given the high amounts of Intel Shield would've given him. Due to the anesthetics used to render Wolverine unconscious before, it is likely that these mines would contain the high concentrations of anesthetic, bacterial/viral/parasitic strains (some that are only known in the DC universe to test his resistance against unknown strains), tranquilizers, drugs effecting ones mind like the fear gas even, anything that could throw off his healing factor that now needs to process through all these chemicals WHILE healing wolverine's physical damage. Wolverine won't be using his senses to focus purely on every mine or chemical bomb, which will be ineffective to Deathstroke as he has prepared the right counter measures to each of his own traps. This is due to berserker rage singling out one target in particular rather than allowing Wolverine to use his mental faculties above subconscious instincts. Again, not every chemical may be dodged. And Deathstroke may have allot of time to fix up his killzone.
-Referring back to the killzone, Deathstroke will carry his promethium sword. Though I suspect he will find out very soon he cannot use it to purely decapitate Wolverine's head (not sure on DC vs Marvel metals), it is rather a nice implement for defensive melee combat.
-Magnetic bullets. Yup. Magnets. Remember that time he was shot with a barrage of adamantium bullets, his body slowed down due to the fact everytime the bullets were to be pushed out of him, they were attracted back into his skin by the adamantium? How do so many Wolverine fans forget the Project: Contingency?
-Going back to the killzone again, Deathstroke would only need to setup his area in a matter of hours in order to avoid Wolverine scouting out unnatural fixtures to the environment. I'm somewhat leaving out bears for now since.... it seems a tad ridiculous and wouldn't effect both parties. Deathstroke should have layers of traps to fall back upon if he truly approaches this tactically.
In short, Deathstroke would know he is less stronger than Wolverine physically. He's faced the entire Justice League at one point of his life and had almost even used the green ring Hal Jordan had based on sheer intuition upon Green Lantern abilities. There would be multiple ways the man who can out-prep Batman would be able to destroy Wolverine, especially using berserk mode to his advantage, limiting his intellectual prowess of said martial arts, making him solely rely on animal instincts. Especially with the fact that Wolverine can be INCAPACITATED rather than killed at first leaving a short window of time Deathstroke has to try out different ways to deliver the final blow OR deliver him back to SHIELD fully unconscious to be operated on and simultaneously killed.
Though I suspect an interesting method of killing Wolverine is to deliver an explosive, Carbonadium-tipped bullet in point blank range of Wolverine eye socket (he's managed to shoot down a flash before) delivering it into his frontal eye socket. Once the bullet is administered into the brain, the explosive will go off shattering shrapnel pieces of carbonadium or highly magnetized pieces or both that will severely hinder Wolverine's cerebral functions regardless of berserker mode. This can be done again and again until Wolverine is rendered without any flesh on his skull and dies or his adaptive regeneration is hindered completely with the onslaught of chemical warfare, multiple shards of magnetic bullets re-tearing his skin, weakened immunity with carbonadium, etc, etc. He's not immortal, to an extent. And he's not even considered a God.
Also, I theorize that the nerve strike mentioned in the beginning would be able to incapacitate Wolverine's flesh enough that his own body shelters himself like a straight-jacket would. Only his bones are indestructible to any force possible.
I call this a stomp due to prep. No way SHIELD would authorize this without giving Deathstroke his target's full list of weaknesses recorded in the past.
