10% ice damage increase via talents etc
( limited utility as it's aimed at a small % of a raid)
Unholy : dps/caster support
Main utility: ebon plague - overall 3-9% increased spell dmg (raid wide?)
Anti magic shield - reduces mag dmg taken by 75% untill 10.k is obsorbed. Area effect.
There are others, but to my knowlege these are the best ones they offer.

Should I decide to come back to WoW, it will surely be as a death knight. I doubt I'll pick up tanking again, so I'll likely pick a DPS build.
Spoiler:
Of course if Blizz decides to go ahead with allowing people to switch between 2 builds, I'll considering making my secondary build a tank one.
Spoiler: I'll likely choose one of these build the way looking are now, but I'm sure more changes will come before release.
Tanking with a 2Hander or Dual-wielding makes me
But will see how it goes.
Prolly will lvl one eventually and dps spec with a fat 2Hander.If no fat 2Handers available can take Ashbringer or Frostmourne as a replacement

I remember the days in ZG, where we'd tank while dual wielding, because we wouldn't generate enough rage otherwise. Ah....those were the days....
Anyway I'm not sure yet if I'll roll a gnome or a human. Humans have an advantage DPS-wise as long as they use swords or maces, but then again, I always loved wielding a big 2hander on Knetter, so I might just pick a gnome.

I very much like the unholy spec, I wouldn't mind tanking but we shall see.
I'm sure the deul wielding benefits unholy more due to desease procs etc.

I do have reservations over how effective thier dps will be. Obviously it's blood over unholy, but I wonder how they scale vs fury wars or ret Palas.
Ofc I base my thoughts on this current early build in beta, but on the assumption of the course things are headed.
Dks interest me, as I have no high lvl alts, and I'm lazy.
