Got lvl 76 with my DK last night. Took a break from levelling to level up Mining and Skinning instead plus getting flight paths in the higher level area's on the normal mount (IceCrown was lots of fun doing that !)
Oh and Cooking (340 atm) and fishing (200) levelled up a bit also.
In the process of levelling skinning and mining plus playing the AH, I've made over 10,000 gold in the last week, enough to get the 300 riding skill, bear mount and gold put by for cold weather flying (can't wait for that!).
Enough also to give the missus the gold to get her DK the 300 riding skill.
Been buying the Titanium Ore's from the AH for 15 to 20g each, then smelting them into bars (two ores per bar) and selling the bars for 80g each
Put 60 Titanium bars up yesterday and they were all sold within a couple of hours ! That plus the Titansteel bars are still selling for between 300g to 500g each, which is very nice.
Mining and skinning though, seriously good for making gold. I just make the Borean Leather into the normal +12 Stam Armor patches on my Hunter and they're still selling for 20g each.
I put 103 armor patches up yesterday evening and when I checked this morning there was only 40 or so left to sell. Nobody else seems to be making them, dunno why as it's such an easy way to make gold.
One tip I'd give any other skinners, the spiders at the Argent Crusade flightpath area in IceCrown seem to have a very high drop rate for Arctic Furs - which sell for at least 60g (on my server anyway) and usually you'll get 80G + for them. There seems to always be a lot of people killing those spiders (must be for some higher level quest I can't get yet) so great place to just run around skinning, rarely having to even kill anything yourself.
Went back to Blood spec on the DK and dual weilding for fun, seriously good dps and have been stacking +hit (280 atm) to take on the level 80's in IceCrown with ease as I was running around farming the Titanium nodes there.
Am off work for the Christmas from Thursday this week until January so would hope to get 80 by the weekend

Agreed with the skinning, stack of borean makes me about 35-40g, armor patches i sell for 60-80g, artic fur for 100-120g. Been trying to level mining myself... God its boring running around ungoro. I got all the miners in the guild to use that gatherer mod, very handy the way we have it setup to only share with other guild members. Also almost got that pyro drake last night, was following its flight path for a few hours but someone beat me to it
Also free mount in icecrown is nice 0 -
Just dinged 80 today.
Even managed to get three heroics done too. Judging by the few previous posts, I should be out levelling my skinning.
Might get some Frostweave cloth on my travels to level tailoring too. Would really love to get the epic flying skill. Makes me sad flying on my 60% mount.

The reason a 2-hander is better compared to 2x1-handers is because every time an NPC or player parries another NPC or players attack, they get what is called parry haste. Which means the time remaining before their next attack is reduced significantly. This is the reason that parry is a more expensive stat than dodge. It is also the reason that DPS are expected to attack from behind, so a boss cannot parry you and therefore hit the tank 2-3 times very quickly and most likely killing him
Obviously, with 2x1-handers which hit significantly faster, your chance to be parried and indeed, the chance that you will be parried several times in a row, is increased and therefore the more likely the chance of you being "parry gibbed". Which is bad
But the bonus tank/expertise stats you can get off of 2x1-handers is obviously good. At least until the tanking 2-handers come out.
But the biggest difficulties with DK tanks that I've seen, is just how frustratingly difficult they are to get crit immune means they tend to suffer quite alot with hit points. Combined with the fact, at least at the moment, they are heavily reliant on cooldowns to stay efficient tanks.
But currently, they scale scarily well. Magic avoidance/mitigation better than even paladins and warriors. Armour and HP scaling similar to druids with plenty of cooldowns and twitch tools for surviving enrages, berserk timers and other gimmicks makes DKs pretty damn great tanks, once they get crit immune and have a decent health pool.0 -
