I have some information about the death knight, Death knight info

HELLO BOSS THESE ARE THE INFORMATION I FOUND AT THE MOMENT OBOUT THE DEATH KNIGHT ;)
There are a lot of things still being worked out with the Death Knight class such as specific spell abilities. Unlike a traditional caster type however, a Death Knight's spell power comes from runes that are etched into their blade. Think Warcraft III when you think about the possibilities of abilities for the Death Knight. I say possibilities because things are still in process for the development of the class and there will be (of course) a lot of testing for balance done. Given that this is our first Hero class we're unveiling, you can be sure we're going for the coolest of the cool for this class.
The Death Knight is intended as an alternative, advanced class for end-game use only. The death knight combines martial prowess with dark, necromantic energies. Players might be familiar with the death knight from previously released Warcraft games -- most recently, in the campaigns for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and the Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne expansion, the former paladin Arthas became a death knight and wrought havoc across Azeroth before fusing with the spirit of Ner'zhul to become the Lich King. It is important to note that these particular Death Knights are based upon those created by the Lich King in Warcraft III, not those of Orcish origin as seen in WarCraft II.The Death Knight is the first hero class in World of Warcraft. At a high, undetermined level, a player will be able to create a Death Knight. This is a second and separate character from your original character. The Death Knight starts at a high level somewhere around 60 or 70 with multiple spells and abilities ready to use. Within this quest chain the character learns to master the power of the Death Knight and learns to use this new power for their will. Blizzard is currently exploring various options as to how the Death Knight will play and the types of abilities at its disposal, and they will reveal more information about this new class as they get further along in development.

There is no restriction to how many Death Knights you can create, and you can create a new character on any realm, as any other class.

The trailer depicts a cinematic of a character being surrounded by the undead minions of the Lich King, and waking up as a Death Knight. However, official information indicates that a Death Knight is created as a new character after being unlocked by an existing character (exact procedure and required level are still being decided, though Tom Chilton has revealed that one of the possibilities would be starting off in Stratholme and having to break your way out of there),[4][5] and the player does not lose access to the unlocking character. [6]

The way death knights were portrayed in past Warcraft games is certainly a source of inspiration for Blizzard, but they are still determining how best to capture that feel within the mechanics of World of Warcraft, and haven't made any final determinations on specific abilities. But in general, the death knight can be considered a hybrid class that combines damage dealing and tanking. They will wear plate armor, but naturally will have an array of unique abilities as well, a few of which are listed below.The death knight uses a unique rune-based resource system to govern his spells and abilities. Three rune types: blood, frost, and unholy, each with an attached color and symbol. Death Knight players will have to carve these runes into their weapons anytime outside combat, so they'll have to choose which sort of runes to emphasize in their spec.[7] As they use their abilities, the runes will be exhausted. After a period of time the runes will refresh.[8]

This is the information as known so far; subject to change as it already has since Blizzcon; this is the newest information.

1. Death Knights will be available to any class
2. Death Knights do NOT require a prerequisite class
3. Death Knights will be unlocked upon getting a character or any class or race to a certain level; this will not be above level 70, however.
4. Death Knights will be tanks and/or dps Spellcasters
5. Death Knights will use 6 runes to use abilities
6. Death Knights are not overpowered
7. Death Knights are not going to break the game

and finally

8. Death Knights may increase rapidly in number for up to a month, before they dwindle down to other class numbers.
