So, do you think it's a viable alternative to a paladin overall for PVE (tanking ability in heroics etc..)? The group I am currently working up is a mixed group with a paladin as the main. They are only L60 [and I just realized the zones are going to be full of DKs now =( ] so it would be a good time for me to switch out my paladin for a DK. Suppose I need to go do some research on this....

Cheers.
