While not much has changed as far as are class goes, the increas threat on RS should prouve to be a nice buff for us DK tanks. Also with the addition of 1 hander version of "Rune of the Stoneskin Gargoyle" called "Rune of the Nerubian Carapace" will we see the rise of the dual-wield Death Knight? Here are the DK specific patch notes for more detailed changes and the youTube version of the patch trailer.
