The Death Knight Hero Class offers players a good alternative with Tanking and DPS abilities that may serve as an asset to your raid. It will also help fill a void when there are no tanks available. It is easy and faster to level the Death Knight from level 55-80. Below you can browse through the Death Knight’s Talent Trees.

Note: Keep in mind this Wrath of the Lich King build was from 2008 Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals. Things may change drastically through closed beta and release date. The Talent Trees below might not be accurate by then.
