I grew so tired of being one of the seemingly millions of DKs (and most of them complete failz) that I re-rolled. He'll be 80 in a few weeks. Warlock is by far my favorite class. Affliction spec FTW!
Yeah, I rolled a death knight a few days into WotLK. I deleted it a week later. That was at the time I was still leveling my main, and you couldn't sneeze without 32,000 DK's saying gesundheit. I just recently rolled horde on Drak'thul. I've got the DK as my main there for the time being, as my friends that play horde there have 80's, and this way I only have a bit of leveling to do to play with them. We don't do much with the horde stuff right now, we're still getting geared on our ally characters on Icecrown. Gear score doesn't impress me. DPS does. I'm in mostly ilvl200 PvP gear, and none of my heroic drops are above ilvl213. I smoked someone on the DPS charts the other day in full-on Ulduar 25 dropped gear-and my average DPS is about 1700-1900 self-buffed. (Fel Armor and firestone)

Watch out on afflic spec. It does indeed rock at around 60, and supposedly if the stuff on PTR comes through it will be a viable spec at 80 again. But don't hold your breath. I'm specced deep destro for heroics right now, and I've got Demonology as my off-spec to play with, but I had to drop afflic at about 65 because I just couldn't keep the blueberry alive and the dot's up anymore. (That and dot dot boom is a lot more fun for me than dot dot drain.) Deep destro is a lot of fun in Northrend Heroics. You get to put up a good rotation even on the trash mobs, unlike a lot of the old world and outland dungeons where the vast majority of everything but a boss fight is just spam rain of fire while your tank tries to keep aggro. Not that you don't have to use RoF quite a bit, that's unavoidable being a lock's only real AoE.

Do you run with a guild, or just do pick-up groups for dungeons? Wait, if you're pulling 4k DPS, you're raiding and in at least tier 7.5 gear. I've thought about joining a guild a couple of times, but the major guilds on Icecrown are full of...well, let's just say that the description would not be fitting for polite company such as the ladies and gentlemen of this wonderful forum. What I did do at about level 35 was to get my own guild just for my main and most of my alts. It sure cut down on people slapping me with random guild invites every time I rode through Stormwind.

Anyway, now that I've got the non-players amongst us scratching their heads, I hope they'll join us in game so they can see what I'm on about.
