Hmm, I'd say Priest because of Abolish Disease...
DK's have a lot of talents that make their damage stronger through Diseases.

It seems to me deathknights will have a lot of the same weaknesses as the other melee classes - kiting, particularly. Mages and Hunters will probably have an upper hand, and maybe warlocks as well.
I'm not sure how they'll fare against other melee classes, hopefully they do well against rogues and warriors though, being two of the top pvp classes right now.
And as far as I'm aware... DK's will be the ultimate counter to resto druids and other healers, they have several abilities which corrupt healing or stop it entirely.

for DK's think of them as a warrior that rapes mages instead of being raped.....not sure what would rape a DK though hm.....warlock? i didnt see a fear breaker in their skills.

Paladins will likely have some advantages against them as well, now that I think of it...
becoming undead is a bad thing when pallies have a no-CD fear against undead/demons, and have holy shock / holy wrath =P

hmmm...locks with fel hounds might be a threat to DKs as well as Pal holy attacks. if using runes have a cast time vs instant cast, then shamans could lock out their abilities also.
I believe all of the DK spells and abilities are either instant cast or channeled (a few are channeled, like death and decay I think).
They're a primary melee class, which makes it difficult to use cast-time spells in combat. So, like many prot/ret pally spells, or enhancement shaman spells, they'd be instant cast - at least anything they use while fighting.

What makes you folks think DKs will be Undead instead of Humanoid? Don't we all remember what happened when the Forsaken were Undead? I doubt Blizz would make that mistake again; it would be like making WotLK require Vista or something.
they wont permanently be undead, but rumors have it that one of their abilities grants them temporary undead status.

id say paladins and shamans are going to give them the hardest time.

Yes I agree, melee damage is the best way of taking down an opponent wearing high armor items such as plate.
