maybe. I've already got a 62 troll priest and a 70 draenei paladin that are heal spec, my main is a feral druid tanking ssc/tk/hyjal right now.
I doubt many of the new deathknights will know a damn thing about tanking, and I've played two tanks to 70 in the past (druid, and pally was a tank till I went holy with him). Blizzard might be able to flood the game with tanking classes, but that wont fix the number of idiot tanks that dont know how to play out there =P
Besides, once I hit 80 my DK will be a pvp character anyways.

I agree with visas, but there is always a chance for a true good tank or two out of several Deathknights. So, if 5 people make their's Frost, and three of them suck at it, while the other two are very excellent tanking as one, we really get a great benefit. With most other tanking classes, maybe one out of five of tanks actually turn out to be good.

depending on the talent trees I may end up tanking a good bit on my DK anyways, since I've got so much experience with tanking classes already. But my aim for the character is pvp, as none of my current characters at 70 are any good at it.

I'd say right now healers have no problems finding a raid, and tanks have no problems finding a 5-man.
Issue being you need more healers than tanks in 25 man, but in a 5-man you need 1 healer and 1 tank.
I'm hoping with the new addition of a tank-class, there will be 1 more required spot for a tank in a 25-man. That would balance things for healers looking for a party as well (if you need 1 less healer but 1 more tank in a 25-man).
That may mean that DPS gets left out even more, since there's also going to be 1 more dps class (DK in dps spec), but DPS should be running around gathering mats/foods for healers and tanks anyway, they don't need to get into parties ;)

One thing to consider..
And this is based on the 'leaked' information.
it seems like Blizzard is making all of the tanking classes a bit easier to play. Multimob threat generation is being improved for warriors and Ferals and it looks like DKs will have more than a few multimob abilities ( seems to be something like consecrate and a few mass-disease abilities).
There are many reasons why skilled tanks were in short supply before.... one of the biggest being that multi-mobbing (other than paladins) required real skill. Most Feral tanks had to have a mouse-over macro for lacerate in order to pull off a 3-4 mob pull.
They also seem to even be decreasing the need for extreme multi-mobbing by opening up the CC's available ( moonkin are getting an indoor CC, and many classes are having CDs and casting times reduced on their current CCs).

Bad druids!
I only have multi-mob tanking issues when it comes to a dozen or more mobs. I've successfully "aoe" tanked the kara ballroom groups and ZA dragonhawk groups on my feral and I rarely lose aggro. It takes a lot of work, yes, but it isnt impossible.
