I am trying to be patient but the way it looks from data mining on MMOchamp has abilities based upon scaling weapon damage getting axed in half and it has me worried (note: this isn't just for DKs, but DKs sure have the biggest "nerf" to the % ive seen so far). I am guessing the bonus damage will get increased to make up for it but honestly this looks like blizz doesn't like DK tanks doing damage beyond just holding threat because bonus damage never scales as well as weapon damage. Also another thing I hope that is not true is RIP 30 sec Outbreak for blood :(

They've stated that they're cutting back on weapon % damage in attacks and buffing weapon damage to compensate, with the intent that the changes will just counter each other at high levels. The reasoning was to lower twink damage in lower level PvP brackets (at least, that's what I've heard). Also, I'm pretty sure I've seen a blue post stating that Blood will still have a 30 second Outbreak (one of those invisible changes that the talent calculator doesn't show).
