DKs on WoW - Overpowered at 80?

I tried WoW again after many years to check out the new content and DKs. I had a very good time soloing with my DK as I could do most of the quests (using skill!) rather than begging 12 year old children to heal when health is low and do damage when health is high!

Entering PvP all changed however. Unless it is a 1 on 1 duel with VERY SIMILAR gear on both the DK is useless. If you get a warrior with a healer just run. If you get a loaded pally just run. Warlock ... no need to fight. Just drink some coffee and when fear/kiting stops (if you are still alive) try and do some dmg. I even got into an arena with all mages. I spent my time (alive) as a sheep.

WoW PvP went out of track somewhere ... while I was not playing it seems.

You say it will get nerfed further? Blizz totally messed it up it seems.
 
What I hate about blizz is how stupidly they rush to "balance" things based only on PvP.

If you want to satisfy all those 13 year olds crying about their PvP experience just nerf the arena environment or something. Disable half the spells in the arenas and BGs and balance them out.

Openworld PvP fair enough, it is tough out there and should be that way. Walk around in groups to have more power if you want!

They seriously messed up the game IMO.
 
I am currently trying to have fun with some PVP on my 56 hunter, however this is turning out to be horrible. Pretty much every Alliance is a DK, and they absolutely own me in about 3-4 hits, i just don't stand a chance. Are they like this at 80? I bloody hope not.

No they are not overpowered at 80 at all. Unfortunately at the level you are at every new DK is in far greater gear than you could ever achieve. A DK is designed to power through outland, and will crush the average joe. Best tip would be to Disengage after they have gripped you.

I've done a 5 man Ramparts & Blood furnace run with all Dk's no healer needed, says it all really.

Also a lot of false statements above^ Any raid that will only take DK's is fail. My current Ulduar 25 geared mage kicks out around 6-7k dps on average, it's all about composition. I'd stick with your hunter, I have one myself and there a very fun class to play end game.
