Have to say before I was just interested in Death Knights, with what bit of info we just got I fell in love with them. For sure going to remake my old main into one now.
Every time someone makes a retnoob a Night Elf Hunter is born, please think of your fellow players and don't spec ret.

So what does everyone think of the Death Knight abilities and/or talents? It seems like the Death Knight will totally destroy any mages and/or priests in PvP. Am I wrong in thinking that?

Keep in mind everyone, that every class is going to be getting some new abilities, spells and talents. We'll be working to make sure the Death Knight is balanced in with everyone else, but we do also want to make sure they have an appeal all their own.
The consensus seemed to be that if really large numbers of men were sent to storm the mountain, then enough might survive the rocks to take the citadel.

Wouldn't the name alone appeal to the player base?

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!
The DK will be an anti-caster tank!
yessssss
Another depiction of the Death Knight.
With that background in mind, the Death Knight scares the crap out of me (and all of my cloth wearing characters). Essentially, the Death Knight is an anti-caster tank. “They’ll be fully capable of tanking creatures on the more common level, like the heroic dungeons and five person instances,” Chilton said. “But where they’ll really shine in the raid scenario is in tanking casters.”
The Death Knight has a pretty good selection of abilities that are going to screw with enemy casters, at the core of which is their “Anti-Magic Shell.” According to Chilton, the Death Knight uses a rune to surround the Death Knight in an anti-magic shell, which absorbs 75% of the damage from the next spell and transfers that into runic power. In addition to that, they have a handful of other anti-magic abilities including the “Mind Freeze” ability which interrupts casting and a runic power ability called “Strangulate” which flushes all of the Death Knight’s runic power, silences an enemy for a maximum of five seconds, and causing a bit of damage.
