First let me say that my intention for this post isn't to steal the thread from the OP. I'm starting a DK in about a month when I get back from deployment and I'm still curious about something.
I'm going to be apart of creating a guild that's primary focus is raiding. We have a warrior MT and I plan on being the OT for raids.
My question revolves around the idea of leveling as a frost tanking spec from 70-80. I'm thinking of doing this so that I can get used to the playstyle of frost and DK tanking in general as I've never played a DK but I've been doing a lot of reading. I always enjoy reading what Lynri has to say and the fact that everything is very informative. Would it be better to stick with a dps spec to 80 and switch to tanking then or level as a tank spec? I am trying to get to 80 ASAP and get myself geared up quickly as well. Will leveling as a tank spec slow me down considerably compared to a dps spec?
The only reason that I'm wanting to focus on frost tanking is because I've read that its more forgiving with lower gear levels. If I'm wrong on that please let me and I'll look into other specs and ideas as well.
I'm really sorry for this wall of text but I'm torn between human or draenai for my race.
Thank you for your time and any assistance provided. I'm sorry if I didn't thank the others for contributions to the DK forums. You guys help to make wowhead an awesome forum to come to for anything wow related.
EDIT: I deleted the 5/5/5 question due to a moment of stupidity. :\

Hi everybody:)
I would like to start a DK, but am pretty unsure whether to go unholy or blood. Unholy+ghoul fascinates me, but I read that to level up blood is better and quicker.
Any recommendations?
Thank you!
First, it is sad to be a DK, there are so many of them, raids are kicking them out so hard...
Second, DK level in any spec is about the same, maybe 1hour difference.., Unholy is more gear depend than blood, so that is why it will be hard to level. (My personal thought, did not prove it)
Third, Play the spec you want, and have fun!

blood is the most gear
dependant
of the 3 specs. Blood is (arguably) easier to level with due to the abundance of self healing talents. Some can manage just fine without them though, I myself levelled as unholy and never had a problem.
I am confused now, blood is the most gear dependant? Meaning if depends more on gear than Frost and Unholy? or vice versa?
