I <3 Death Knights
As a Hunter most of my attention is focused on a few things, DPS (the higher the better), Pet management (as in try not to have it run off, agro everything in range, and thus kill my entire party/raid), and agro management. Sometimes I even get to crowd control and back in the day I used to pull (ah the days of Feign Death pulling, recapturing a fine EQ moment).
I pass off agro as much as I can with skills and feign death and I do a pretty decent job of staying out of harm’s way, but there are still times where I manage just a bit too much damage and get the attention of the big bad monster anyway. It’s made worse by my need for pick up groups, meaning the skill and equipment of the tank is not something I can count on.
And then the Death Knight joined the happy little World of Warcraft family. The more I play alongside them, the more I love them. A skilled Death Knight can keep agro like no other class.
It’s fabulously fun, but it’s also made me lazy. I hardly pay attention to my agro anymore. In times of panic, which inevitably happen (not always my fault!), I have lost track of my feign death button (due to laziness) and actually died. DIED!
This is of course entirely due to the death knight being so awesomely awesome. Pretty soon I will just auto follow the Death Knight tank around and sit back with a hot cup of cocoa. And they said hunters were easy to play before. Pah!

while DK’s are fun, they don’t compare to shadowknights no-way no-how. especially troll shadowknights with a double exp penalty!

Oh yeah, they level way too fast and are way to useful to compete with Shadowknights in any way. =D
