How viable are DK's supposed to be for main tanks? Is blizzard committed to making them able to be a real tanking class, or more of a "can tank if you don't have a real one" like paladins/druids pre-tbc? I'd love to replace my Paladin, to be honest I have no interest in ever playing my paladin solo, whereas I would definitely take the DK out solo
On paper, yes. More than that, I would need a crystal ball for.Quote:

been using my 60 dk also I like it better then my pally ,I am unholy spec'd
Only thing missing unless I just havent found it is some kinda taunt so if you healer happens to pull aggro to soon you can get it back
Frost Presence increases threat generated, Death Grip forces the mob to attack you for 3 sec.
Dark Command is our real taunt, you don't get it till 65. 8 Second Cooldown, commands the target to attack you. 20 yd range, and it doesn't cost anything.
Yep I think DKs will make GREAT multiboxer tanks. It will definitely be a little more micromanagement as you have to target with death and decay, and use a proper sequence the generate max threat (ie: put a couple diseases on a target, and then spread them with pestilence, etc). But, overall, I think it will work just as good as Death Knights are infinitely cooler than Paladins.
I'm seriously considering removing my main shaman completely and replacing with my Death Knight. I find Elemental Shamans to be boring as hell when played Solo, and so having a DK main instead of a shaman main means I can play solo with friends if I choose at any time.
Also as trivial as this is, DKs get a custom flying mount that looks awesome as hell :D
I tend to play to much with Death Grip but yea thats a good oneQuote:

Death Knights make melee-multiboxing plausible.
