In previous warcraft games, they had hero classes (single units), and they're using those archetypes to generate these new classes in WoW. However to make them markedly better than the others in WoW would be game-breaking. The 'hero classes' are really just meant to include previous lore into the game.

When Blizzard unveiled DK’s as a “hero class”, they didn’t really explain what they meant by that term. Now, I didn’t attend BlizzCon, but they didn’t mention anything in any trailers.
My question is: Are death knights gonna be overpowered in PvP vs. other classes?
Is it gonna take like 3 of a regular class to kill them? Being “hero” class, how does that make them different from the other eight classes? Any thoughts?
Death knights will not be overpowered against current classes, Blizzard is going to balance them against everyone else just as they do with all the classes right now.
What makes them a "hero" class is that you have to have a level 55 character to unlock DK's and be able to make one, and deathknights start at level 55 rather than at level 1. That's the only differences.

Balanced. Just like Rogues.

Honestly, blizz does their best trying to balance pvp, but everyone complains about 2v2 arenas where balance cannot be done properly. It's like trying to balance duels... it cant happen.
Rogues have their share of counter classes. My feral druid has never lost to a rogue since BC came out, they havent even been able to come close to taking me down solo.
The only reason some classes are currently considered 'overpowered' is because they do well in 2v2 arena. In my opinion that bracket, and even 3v3, needs to be removed entirely. 5v5 should be the only arenas available because they're the only ones that can be balanced.

If a rogue can (and usually does) turn a fight in a BG into a duel, they still come out OPed. So while your DPS classes are beating each others' heads in with maces and swords, the healer's getting shredded by the rogue that just shadowstepped behind them. Then once the healer's down the rogue can just Vanish and look for another unprotected clothie to shank.
Then it's the DPS classes' fault for not watching out for their healer. It isnt that hard to kill a rogue, and most healers can survive for at least a good 15-20 seconds while their team helps them out.
If you run in pugs, that's exactly what will happen. Team up more and play with competent pvpers.

No.
Hero Class is a class derived from the base classes, but with more specialization and somewhat tied to Warcraft lore.
It's just an added class..

Yea...think about it this way. In the good old WC3 a hero could normally take 2-3 units down with him, before dying. So they are initially pretty strong. Same with the DK - they start at level 55, so they don't deal with killing wolf babies, gathering peacebloom, and eliminating vile murloc gangsters. They start directly from the big game.

Lol, competent PvPers = smelly dudes screamy at you threw a mic on vent yelling about not earth shocking the heals once.Me: Get back and D! We've just lost the Farm, LM, and Mine because you people are all farting around at the stables!
Them: Yeah, you can tell me strategy when you can kill three of them at once like I do. Now lrn2playnoob.
So yeah. In my experience "competent" PVPers are just over-geared jerks who only care about beating down as many people as possible. Even people on their own side.
No.
Competent pvpers are those who pay attention to their surroundings instead of focusing on killing as many worthless opponents as possible.
When you see that 'leet overgeared jerk' trying to kill a bunch of warriors and retadins while his healer is getting beaten down by rogues... he isnt a competent pvper.
You dont have to be awesome at pvp to be competent at it, you just have to work together with your team and refrain from getting tunnel vision.
