The Death Knight class was designed to be a heroic class. When they first came out everyone played them, and they were a lot of fun. They were definitely heroic, able to take on many mobs at once, and easily dominate all other classes in pvp.
Anytime a class is extremely over powered from the other classes, lots of people will start to complain about it on the forum, and that's exactly what happened to Dks. Lots of their abilities have been reduced. But one thing remains evident, they are still a heroic class. Even players who have no idea how to play the class are doing insane amounts of dps. The Death Knight doesn't stop there. Their plate armor makes them a sufficient tank class as well. I've personally tanked with every class in the game, most all the way to level cap. Death Knight tanking is one of the most difficult, do mostly to the shortage of tanking abilities.
That shouldn't deter you from tanking with a Death Knight if that's your goal. They hold aggro with dps, so just be prepared to break faces. The most important thing to take into consideration as a tank isn't your spec, but your gear. Make sure while leveling you have as much dodge and defense gear as possible, and always wear it over dps pieces while tanking.
I know this because I leveled my death knight tanking dungeons before looking for group was around. I leveled mostly blood, and never had any major issues holding aggro, or getting healed.
But the best part about the death knight class is definitely it's ability in pvp. The plate armor, and hard hitting dps is a nightmare for other classes. Death Knights have abilities to slow their opponent to a near stop, and do big fast dps. If you're up against a caster, it's not even an issue with your anti-magic shell. Even the most difficult classes in pvp like hunters and warriors don't stand a chance against a well prepared death knight with a thirst for honor.
