Daniel, as much as it may seem in theory that unholy can stack more necros and apply more pressure to healers, this in not true.

In a 1v1 situation, a frost death knight is extremely deadly to any healer. In arenas they become extremely vulnerable to CC and have no melee big defensive CD's, so it becomes very easy to defeat a arena team with a frost death knight, either cc him or focus him.

Unholy in 2v2 however has the advantage of the pet and gargoyle continuous attacks even though the DK is CC'ed and has extra caster defensive CD's with stronger lichborne heals. The unholy DK can also cast Unholy Frenzy on his healer to completely avoid CC's on him (anything that brakes with damage).

In other words frost is king in BG's and 2v2 arenas with a healer/dps enemy team. Double dps can be very dangerous.

But I can guarantee you unholy is terrible at killing healers 1v1, specially holy palladins that can constantly fear your pet and gargoyle.
