Question on death knights and their powers post Lich King

Are their powers granted by the Lich King? If he is "defeated", whether that means deposed or killed, and loses his powers, loses Frostmourne, and everything else, does this mean that the death knights lose their powers?
If not (since these classes will still be in the game, apparently) where does their power come from? I know that even though their wills have been broken from the Lich King's and they are independent beings, it seems as though they are still "Lich King powered".
And if they did keep their powers, it seems like this would be a bit disturbing to people who might not want to see Lich King-like powers hanging around after his demise. Seems like another opportunity for a new type of Scarlet Crusade to go running down death knights.

I think they'll probably have the Dreadlord's swoop in once the Lich King goes down and gather up the remains of the Scourge and take full control again. Don't forget they were the orginal creators of the Necromancy magic, so more then likely even with the Lich King dead, his armour and Frostmourne shattered, the Legion can keep the Scourge up and running.

Do you think Mal'ganis will be running the show at that point?

Plausible, he ran away from his whole "Lead the Onslaught" thing, or it might be the current leader of the Dreadlords,
Mephistroth.

THOUGHT:
Since, apparently,
Frostmourn isn't going to be a drop in Icecrown
, maybe this is ment to imply that the Ebon Blade is going to take it and syphon(spelling) power from it, similar to Mu'ru(or whatever his name was) and the Blood Knights.
Thoughts on this?
EDIT: added link

Syphon? But I doubt, I really think the Blade needs the Armour as well. But we'll find out... hopefully, and it will be more then just blizzard saying "Because we said so."

Okay, take his entire corpse.

I dont think that would work either. Its not the body that has the power, its Ner'zhul that gives the power, and he is only something like a soul or something.
Also, Lich King is not giving them power all the time. As a dk you recieved his blessing at the starting area, giving you power.
