DK DPS is pretty crazy right now. Gear-wise, my mage and shaman are at least equal to my brother's DK, whom he had always had set up in a tank spec. Once dual-spec got added to the game and he set up a DPS spec with mostly blues and a few heroic epics, we decided to run H HoL to see how their DPS and rotations stacked up. My brother's DK easily beat my DPS overall for the instance by about 1000 DPS (on single-target fights, it was a bit closer).
It mirrors my results from running my mage solo in a Naxx run, where another DK also beat me by about 1000 DPS (I came in second in DPS for the run), despite my best efforts. Granted, this includes a lot of trash pulls in the data as well, but it is kinda silly how much damage they can dish out without really doing anything special. Also, it seems DKs are generating quite a bit more runic power after the latest patches, which contributes directly to how much DPS they can put out.
Don't read this as a "Nerf DK" thread, rather I'm suggesting DKs should try to live it up right now. Who knows, this may be the prime of their existence.
Retadins are also pretty hot right now. Told another guildie to take advantage of that too, in case they ever end up back in "lolret" land.
