Haste is not terribly useful to a Death Knight due to the relatively low portion of their DPS being white hits. The majority of DK damage comes from DoTs and instant attacks, neither of which haste benefits in any way.

Similarly, a large portion of DK dps doesn't even come from physical damage. Thus, Armor penetration is also not high on the list of 'good stats' to have for a Death Knight.

All DK's (of all specs) should really focus on, is Strength (or AP, but preferably raw STR), Crit Rating, Hit Rating (until specials attacks are capped at the very least), and or course defense rating and raw parry rating (although high STR items also provide a fair bit of parry, which also helps to hybridise a lot of the gear) for the tanking types.
