My DK is like a quilt - HELP!

[Gracerath]

I just lucked out that A) I love frost dps B) I'm good at Frost DPS and C) I like how DK's are playing on the beta for some strange reason. I'm sure as hell never tanking on her again though.

from everything I have seen, DK's play well in the beta. I'm stuck in limbo on getting into the beta. Guild won the contest, we sent our email back with names, but only half the list is in so far.

I'm more of an unholy DPS person now that I've toyed with it, but man i love frost tanking. I will try new blood tanking, but I'm not sure I will be as excited about it.

They don't play well but they aren't broken either. They work but Runic Empowerment kinda messes stuff up by forcing dps into a GCD capped situation so there is no room to use the "fun" abilities they are trying to talk up, vital cooldowns still require runes, talent trees (especially unholy) are a bit bloaty and unable to really pick up any of the utility talents, etc. Basically, shit still need a lot of fixin.

Personally I like that they chose a tree to be a dedicated tank tree. I didn't like that every single DK tree looked like the feral tree and caused a balancing nightmare. It is unfortunate that people enjoying certain playstyles now get a little bit hosed but in the end I feel it is for the better. I share the sentiment about not wanting to tank ever as my DK in cataclysm. Hopefully my paladin and new worgen warrior will fill that need.

I actually really liked Blood DPS, but I don't think it'd survive a post-ArP world.

Blood DPS wont survive because Blood is a tanking tree.

Which is unfortunate, because I also prefer blood dps. I am currently toying with dual-wield frost dps, not sure yet how I like it.

I sure as hell won't be playing Blood come Cata, I don't like DK tanks.

It's GCD locked and yet it still doesn't feel nearly as hectic as it does on live. I do agree that there's more that needs to be done, but the core of how they're going to work is there, now it's just a numbers game. Not like Hunters having broken pets a couple of other classes that just flat out weren't working for a push or two.
