Will Death knights be Overpowered?
Despite being called a "hero" class, the only thing different about a death knight as opposed to other classes is that death knights start at a higher level, and have many unique class features (including their own mounts, glowing eyes, and unique skin tones).
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIGHT
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIGHT
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIGHT
i'm lvl 72 hunter almost full epic (from bg epic) and i get killed 5 times in a road from a lvl 70 green unholy (not even blood) DK ganker
dk is not overpowered and i'm the pope from Rome ! KISS MY RING xD
i guess in few months at least half of the players will have and play the most only death knight !
be cause ...
Death Knight is NOT OVERPOWERED, it IS THE MOST OVERPOWERED !

You're just that bad at playing a hunter.

maybe, maybe forgot to specify some small stuff
like ...
i DO like pvp
i have "some" pvp experience (no hardcore but anyway i'm no wimp)
i can kill with ease rogues, mages, warriors, not very geared shamans, etc. specially when i attack first and i focus on fight
getting killed by someone 2 levels under me, highly under geared, with under half of he's life and he being attacked by 2 mobs he's level, and several times in a road ! makes dk EXTREMELY OVERPOWERED !
i just start leveling like hell my DK ... how i said sooner or later everyone will realize that dk is the best class in the game in almost any situation !

Here, take my advice: Stop leveling your deathknight, and start paying more attention to school. Your grammar makes you look like a 12 year old noob with an attitude problem.

That question and subsiquent answer may be good to add here.
Also the question of "What is a death rune?" may be a good one to tackle.

what weapon type
and what stat(agility stamina and so on)
should an unholy death knight go for?
Weapon type doesnt matter a whole lot, just use a 2hander and you cant really go wrong.
If you're an orc, use axes. If you're a human, use maces or swords. If you're neither one of those, use axes - because axes are more common and generally easier to get than swords are in northrend.
As for stats, get them roughly in this order:
For DPS/Soloing
Strength -> Attack Power -> Crit Rating/Hit Rating -> Expertise Rating -> Agility -> Haste Rating/Armor Penetration
For Tanking
Defense (to crit immune) -> Stamina -> Dodge Rating -> Strength -> Agility -> Parry Rating -> Expertise Rating -> Crit Rating/Hit Rating -> Haste Rating/Armor Penetration
More or less, thats about the guideline I use. Some stats are hard to weigh against others when choosing new gear, especially for tanking. I generally base it around mitigation/survivability first, threat generation second.

I'm in Northrend at the moment, currently questing, when do DK's start to work for the Ebon Hold Guards again?
you get a few quests for ebon blade rep in zul'drak, around level 75-76. After that, you have to wait until level 80 when you get into icecrown, and the first quest chain you do there unlocks the shadow vault, which is a knights of the ebon blade base in icecrown. At the shadow vault you get a bunch of dailies for ebon blade rep, and you can find the ebon blade quartermaster there to buy the tabard and equipment.
