The thing that you are missing is that, while a Death Knight technically starts at level 55 at character creation, they enter the world in a special "Starting Area" that is different than any other starting area in the game. This is a special instance that only new DK's have access to, and they cannot leave this place until the story arc is complete. This is also where the DK earns their starting gear as well as their talent points and mount. This takes about two hours if it's your first time, and at the end of the entire event, the DK is level 58.

So, again, you will not find a "level 55 DK" in the world, because the class does not work that way.
