I havnt tried a DK yet, waiting till my shammys get to about 55 or so then im going to add a DK to the group.
Whats the difference in the specs, and from peoples experience which do you think has some nice talents that compliment shammys well?
Id like to keep the 4 shammys elemental so possibly blood for heals for the tank? not sure.
It all depends.
I personally use unholy but I am grinding instances and few quests. Blood was great for solo at first, but as far as Shaman groups go, Ebon Plaguebringer is huge.
Unholy is your best bet. Ebon Plaguebringer gives your shaman 13% more spell dmg. You also can aoe tank much better in unholy.
Note that you want your shammys to be level 58 as that's the level at which the DKs exit the starting zone (can't exit earlier)
You can see most of my thoughts on DK tanking over in the following thread:
