Actually, Deathknights are quite easy to kill for rogues.. excluding blood, you don't need any skill what-so-ever to survive melee dps as blood.
I have a deathknight as well, so i kind of know what i'm talking about. both pve and pvp for that matter.

Having a death knight =/= knowing what you'ret alking about.

I've found rogues quite easy to survive as Frost. Trinket from their stun, chains of ice, get diseases up then go to town.

I also try to lessen the stereotypes that still float around. Please, please, PLEASE help the noob dks, don't ignore them and use them to make yourself look better. The class itself gets grief for being what makes it so unique, so help the people that want to learn, and try to convince the people that can't learn that a warrior or paladin is more to their style (lol, fellow plate wearers my ass! this is war!).
In conclusion, make all dks better and stupid discrimination will stop. Sure we may always be called OP, but it is the player that is OP, not the class.
My paly alt just hit 65 and since 58 i've noticed the nice swarm of dk dps showing up in LFD. I just saw a DW unholy dk with no pet...omg i almost flipped on him. But tried to inform him about the ghoul and that he shouldn't be DWing. He also wasn't using scourgestrike...sigh it was depressing. Me and a mage were pulling around 1.5k dps and he was barely doing 200. I'm not sure if things have changed but i'm pretty sure i remember doing about 1.5k at that level the last time i leveled a new dk.
It's one thing for people to not go onto forums and read about their class but to completely ignore your talents and specialization is just plain bad. Some people are just bad and there's nothing you can do to make them any better.

Sounds like an absolutely terrible rogue if you're trinketing stuns and not getting your ass whupped. Trinkets should generally be reserved for Blind, IBF if you're getting a full Kidney and no heals. Rogues are one of the worst thing a DK can go up against, worse than Frost Mages. If they have Find Weakness up you better hope your healers landing a heal (and that you're not in a smoke-bomb) or you're going to be right and screwed.

Hmmm DK's - It is bad image of DK's from WoLK(unbalanced class and spec) but in cata DK class improved a lot and one the best melee class. Many new players wanna try DK because of his high level starting - it also make bad impression of whole class sometimes.
I dont like DK because my main is retri pally. In WoLK we are awesome melee class and now not in competition anymore. My friend has DK as main- in WoLK I was king and now he is. We always do dps race in raid....:P
Now new hatred class is retri pally.

1. DK overaggro tank? Let him die... That, quite, working for me. Considering, I'm often in the top of DPS chart (as tank, you're reading it right) and i'm running around with my friend as healer, it's not an issue for us two to communicate one idiot to the ground. If he's not learning from first occasion, it's up to him to leave the group.
2. Party not like you for being DK? Haters gonna hate. You can't do much about this. If you're doing your part of the job right, most of people would keep their hate to themselves. Been toying with my mage or rogue, I've got quite of the "khmm" reactions, but i've never been kicked from the party. Yes, my DPS isn't stellar (frankly said, I haven't found my kick neither in mages, nor in rogues), but i'm not causing party a headache, and properly doing my job on CC and interrupts. Thus, not getting more than a mild rant to my side. If ever.

I dont hate DKs, i LOVE DKs. what i hate is people who play a DK so they can 1:start at lvl 55 without grinding, 2: because they like the thought of blue gear and a horse for free, and 3: because they have heard DKs are powerful. they dont take the time to learn the class and make the class look bad, and that is what i beliave makes people hate DKs so much, all the noobs trying and failing to play them
