Is it similar to an enchant that the DKs can place on any of their weapons or more like Shaman weapon buffs with an unlimited duration?
You can place runeforges on any of your weapons and they are permanent until replaced. This allows the death knight to have one weapon for damage, and keep another for tanking in his backpack without having to run back to ebon hold just to switch runeforged effects.
Can it be combined with more conventional enchants?
No, runeforged effects do not stack with normal enchants. They do stack with temporary weapon buffs such as sharpening stones and weight stones.
Can you runeforge an unbound weapon and hand it to someone else?
No, runeforging causes the targeted weapon to become soulbound.
Can you have multiple weapons each with their own different runeforged upgrade, and thus able to switch around depenent upon what your foe is?
Yes, as explained above. I keep several weapons in my bags on beta, one with a +4% parry rune and the others with fallen crusader/cinderglacier runes for damage.
I'm just wondering just how many spots I should allocate for a plethora of weapons to compose of my armory, as some of the runeforge abilities are quite nice.
Unless you plan on dual wielding, you should only need 2-3 spots. One weapon with a +4% parry rune for tanking, and one with either cinderglacier or fallen crusader for DPS. Maybe one more with rune of spellbreaking/spellshattering for dealing with magic damage.

another question, does Runeforging give the weapons the glow effects and can you do a brief rundown of the visual effects for each rune if they do?
yes, they do give visual effects.
Spellbreaking/spellshattering: unholy weapon effect
Swordbreaking/swordshattering: the blood-dripping effect... cant remember what it's used for, savagery?
Cinderglacier: blue glow
Fallen Crusader: white glow
Lichbane: Fiery weapon effect
Razorice: the old frozen rune weapon effect, it's probably one of the best looking - a frosty/icy graphic... hard to explain

Please tell me that I'm not the only one who put a rune on a
Rusted Pitchfork
just for kicks.
The runes do look rather nice, and help give that extra feel of epic. Plus, at present, they're a snap to do. Very self-sufficient.

I already have Fiery on my pitchfork.

There's just a single class section now, not the three different spec sections like before, so being Blood doesn't matter. And the book has been alphabetized, so just look for
Runeforging
.
Also I think you can click on the Rune Forge in Ebon Hold to open the window.
I don't know why it wouldn't show up for you, but if it's actually not there, try submitting a ticket.

I tried runeforging both my good fishing poles (Kalu'ak walrus fishing pole and that fancy Jeweled Fishing Pole), wouldn't do it, "not an acceptable target" or some such.
However my Diamond-tipped Cane now proudly bears a Rune of the Fallen Crusader. I can hardly wait to beat something to death with it :-)(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##Lets leave this 2008 thread in the past.
