Quote:"4 DK LFG 1 Healer" - probably going to be a problem, if for no other reason then they are new and everybody will want one. I wouldn't spec resto for this phenomenon - if you want to go bear or boomkin you will have 15 levels, + a years worth of gear, + a lengthy questline head start on the DK's.
hehe--I was just joshin' about the resto bit!
Though, DKs will be less behind than you think:
1. Anyone with a level 55 character will be able to create a Death Knight on any server on day 1 of WotLK.
2. Death Knights start at level 55.
3. Blizzard is resetting the gear curve (again) in WotLK
And I would be surprised if that lengthy questline didn't give experience.
In my mind, the only drawbacks to rolling a Death Knight are:
1. You have to reach 55 with a character before WotLK
2. You'll be 25 levels from the cap instead of 10
3. You can't heal or res
It's so crazy imbalanced that I keep thinking there's got to be another Hero Class coming in WotLK that they haven't told us about yet. But they're acting like the DK is the only party in town, so... I, for one, welcome our new Death Knight overlords?
