I was leading an AQ40 run and a level 60 Death-tard need rolled on (epic) plate with spell power...
I can see some of the items actually being a slight up/sidegrade depending on what he was going to do...

I think this thread is a spot for good DKs and those burned by bad DKs to vent their frustrations.
Bad DK moves:
Yelling in trade chat arguing with the good DKs about why all DKs NEED spellpower gear. Yes, true story.
Rolling need on tank gear the tank needs as an upgrade, while DPSing for a group. "LOL guiz I am wan 2 spec tank soon kk?" >_<
Rolling on spellpower gear, ever. I don't care if it's purple, pink, yellow with green polka dots... Spellpower is not a stat that benefits DK abilities. Unless the group passes on an item and it's being rolled on for vendor, then everyone takes a roll, but otherwise, no.

8. After every Pull, including Trash, you must Display Damage Meter
And that has to do with DK only?
You use Death Grip on absolutely everything, regardless of whether you're tanking or not.
Ye tanks gotta love this :P

Want to know how many times I have been kicked from groups because I said I am a tank? I have it set in a notepad the number is 54. This only started at 75. Its funny because 12 of the groups have disbanded and formed a group with me. Why? because I do know how to play a DK and I do have the stats and abilities to back that up while not yet in any epics just hit 80. 543 defense 25000 Health and 30000 armor. I know my rotations good and have only caused a wipe maybe 1 or 2 times in a single instance. The reason was because I was new to it and did not know the fight.
Gonna say this. This is not a flame at other people or even a argument I am just stating what I have done. I will also say I have met these DK noobs and unfortunatly it is true that about 80%+ are noobs.
Gonna say this and this is a flame.
DO NOT TELL ME DKS CAN"T TANK!. They can if they know how. Noobs can't tank this falls even if its a warrior, pally, druid, or DK. If a noob is at the keyboard they can't tank. If a good player is at the keyboard even a Moonkin can tank.
End of flame...

12. you dps in frost
This one just isn't true. I rerolled my 71 DK from an Unholy leveling build to a frost tanking build. While my single target DPS dropped a tad, I can take on multiple mobs far more easily now.
Unholy Precence - > Round them all up -> Frost presence -> Smack away
The only thing that you have to think about here is keeping the diseases up on everyone, but that just means you use Pestilence instead of BS every now and then. HB is also great damage efficiency against the 4 mobs standing in front of you.

This some of the patterns I've seen in Noob Dks.I thought I would help everyone out with my
10 Ways to Spot A Noob Dk. Im sure someone else has did something similar to this, but I figured i would do one of my own.
3. When ask to Tank, you think you were the Groups 1st Choice
5. Besides your DK your Highest Level toon is 55
If you have any to add please do.
3. I actually pray to god I'm their last choice...I hate tanking, and generally look for another person.
5. Is it just as bad if it's a 56 lock? I got one level past the 55 marker :D

I agree with those saying its not the class but the player, I've played with bad DK's, but there is a couple of really good ones in my guild.

=They run around terrorizing lowbies at 58, using emotes like /laugh and /spit (maybe this is just alliance)
=They dual-wield when specced deep blood (I've seen SO many, it's pathetic)
^These two. I've stumbled upon so many 58 DKs running amok in lowbie areas that it's insane. It alludes back to the whole "other than their DK, their highest level is a 55" thing. And whenever I see a blood (or unholy, in some/most cases) spec'd DK dual wielding I just want to cringe. But these are usually the same people who only put one or two points in each and literally EVERY talent, then move on to the next tier, so I don't worry too much about the future of the class, as these are usually 12 year old who don't really grasp the concept of the game.

I'm shocked nobody has mentioned this, but DKs who think Army of the Dead is some sort of nuke.
SO much fun when used on a non-taunt immune boss who has a frontal cleave/cone attack.
I was mad when i wasted mine. We were killing kel thuzad pretty easy and I just wanted to let it off so I did and as soon as I finsihed casting a void zone opened under me killing my entire army before they even got a chance to attack.
:(
bad luck ftl

Funny Because I was a hunter then roll DK main. usually 12 year old
Im 13 years old, before I played dk I played hunter(lvl 70, not 55) i have a life(dont play every day, and never more then 2-3 hours), believe I speak good (enough) english and now I play an atm 75 dk, and still think I grasp both classes well. Oh, and my hunter isnt bm, but surv. So dont say young ppl or huntards-reroll deathtards always really are tards. Every class has its tards, but because DK's, retripalas and hunters seems quite easy to lvl they have more. I wont see a lvl 60+ priestard walking around, they just dont exist, coz after 10 lvls they say: #$%^ this, im gonna play something easier. Oh and hey, its true that alot of 12 year old play this game, let their parents pay it, and make a nelf/belf hunter and call him legolas. Guess where 12 year old hunters got their bad name from. Just want to say that not every 12 year old is a tard and deserves to be banned(oh, and even if they play the game wrong, let them, its a game, and if you care so much about it, you actually dont have any social life and deserve something way worse. ITS JUST A GAME.) Sorry, seems im offtopic. Not that most other ppl arent, so I wont care. To add something useful to the wall of text: lvl 58 unholy dk's in AV. Worst thing ever, except dks who think they can win from someone 5 lvls higher(but hey, if that someone is a priest/druid, they maybe can..)
