Thanks for this thread and all the info that has came with it.
I recently restarted playing wow with the advent of cata and decided to give boxing a try. 4 dk + hpally is my first boxing team and I am loving it. Playing from the healer position and "steering" the dks feels very natural to me now and it actually feels weird when I play from the dk perspective. Its like having 4 bodyguards following me around and doing my bidding.
I am sitting at around 2800 resil and acquired my 359 pvp weapons last week. Arena seems really easy vs what appears to be randoms going for points, but definitely more challenging against the higher lvl teams. Its been fairly easy to cap my points each week. To improve, I feel I still need to work on better use of defensive cooldowns and improve my use of hungering cold. I have hc firing random and it seems that the dks fire multiple hcs at the same time quite often. Im going to try hc with a round robin and maybe take it completely out of my spam button.

HC should be used manually on RR. This is not too terrible to manage since it doesn't need facing like "repenance". Just use it when there are people around your DKs. Also disease tick doesn't break HC so you can safely spam HB first then use HC. It serves as a good AOE CC or interrupt.
Management of the defensive CD is a little challenging. Currently in a "use it all upfront and pray I don't die" mode for me, it works below 1700 ratings. Above that, melee zerg shows its limitations. We have to rely on the other team make a mistake or we got lucky on a interrupt/slience combo.

I'm working on a new Manifesto tonight. I should have it posted before tomorrow morning. I'm thinking that it will be posted in the PvP forums--I have little to no plans for comments regarding PvE with the team so that narrows down the target audience.

The tb magic resist trinket doesn't work in arena. Just tried it
-
Pretty much all trinkets say "cannot be used in arenas" when you enter the arena and mouseover for some reason. Did you actually try to use it? Seems strange, I thought mosg2 came to the conclusion that it was good after using it in arenas.
-
It's a tooltip error--The same tooltip error that caused me to drop 4x Engineering on my guys. Everything but the PvP trinket says that it doesn't work in arenas.
I've used it quite a bit in arenas and I like it.

Yes, I was going off of what the tooltip said.
