This is why I love this site and it's community. Something that seems to be a major problem might have in fact a very simple solution ..

Another idea might be to go for a boss, put the diseases on him. He might stay long enough alive to actually spread it

A useful tip for Death Knights and pulling mobs with low aggro range is (Glyph of Pestilence - extra 5 yards) then just pestilence all your targets while pulling (with no diseases) this in effect spreads nothing, but aggro's anything within pestilence range. This is also a trick to pulling massive amounts of mobs outside of instances as they cannot reset even though you're doing no damage.:)

Plague Strike
Pestilence
TAB
Icy Touch
Pestilence
loot underpants
PROFIT.

Personally I found it a lot easier to D&D, Blood Boil, and Corpse Explode my way to huge success.

Glyph pestilence to refresh diseases on your target as well as spreading them with every use.
As mentioned above, I always run to the boss, disease and pestilence immediately and then drop DnD.
Make sure to hit pestilence repeatedly since the mobs your targeting might die from white dmg before pestilence fires, and you really don't want to lose your diseases on 15 mobs at half health where you can't get your diseases up again.
And respec into perma-Ghoul, he'll chase down all the runners from a mass pull very nicely. Just take the tier 1 tanking talent from each tree and then go all the way to Ebon Plaguebringer, the one that gives you a third disease, you'll notice this a lot in bigger death strike heals.
Thats how i did it, with a DK around 4.3k gs, dps gear. Boosted RAF sets 1-60 in about 16 hours total, but that would be a lot faster with the gear i have now :)
