i just want to make a comment on threat. it isn't that warrior threat is weak, or that dk threat is, but that it is ill-suited for the times priests (or any healers, for that matter) care about threat the most - adds.

while druids have an instant AoE threat move, and Paladins and DK both have ground-targeted "DoT" spells ticking constantly, warriors rely largely on tab-targeting, a six-second instant-damage spell, and reflected damage from talents based on block (which means Shield Block is an amazing THREAT cooldown, too). Death Knights can also have problems if mobs come at the wrong time, due to how rune cooldowns work. Death and Decay works great, but if the tank accidentally blew through both blood runes when they hit Blood Strike twice instead of once, that's a long few seconds.
