DK DPS is perhaps good, I wouldn't know - 2 years of WoW and before that other MMOs and I've never played DPS - but the tanks were having issues.

Specifically too 'spikey' - when their cooldowns were cool they were very strong on mitigation, but when they were down they were too weak on mitigation.

The changes, moving a large portion of DK mitigation into a stance and out of cooldowns, will make them play a lot more like other tanks - decent baseline mitigation with a cooldown-based mitigation buff. Before it was the other way around - the core of their mitigation was in a cooldown-based ability, and the minor buff was in a stance.
