Hey, im all new here.
Im just wondering what talents you guys think i should use on a gobin DK that i use as both tank and DPS?
And if you want to add it, i would appreciate it if someone took the time to write in what order you do your spells, and what order you have them on your action bars.
Im all new with DK so i dont have any idea on how to use it the best!

will teach you everything you need to know about how to play your class. Basically from 55-80ish spec blood and smash your face against the keyboard. It's that easy! You will see what spells do what but your main thing is spam Death Strike when it's up, other than that...smash your face on the keyboard and enjoy being amazing!

Actually, for leveling I've found that icy-veins doesn't do much at all. They'll advise you to go Frost or Unholy "because it's more efficient (faster?)" and that is about it.
Personally, I've only gotten my DK to 68 so far, but Frost has seemed to be more of a waiting game. Blood seems to be the more active spec, which suits my playstyle better.
I dont mind tanking dungeons at all, I've got the spec and gear for it, but I wonder how Blood (in Frost Presence and obviously Vengeance) is compared to Frost as a DPS spec, in case I get selected as a DPS in a LFD.
Can you get away with Blood in Frost Presence? Or is it really much better to just go Frost for that dungeon?

Why oh why would you want to go blood in frost presence? It does nothing for you.
NOTE: It no longer adds 20% flat damage modifier.
Well, since Blood does have a near complete rotation, it's currently a much more enjoyable spec. However, I won't be the tank in every dungeon I queue for, so I'm curious if I should switch specs for that dungeon or if simply switching presence to Frost will still allow me to do a decent amount of DPS.
Sure, it's still only leveling, and it's all faceroll content, but this is my first serious attempt to raise a DK, so I'm not about to just **** around until I hit 90 and only start to learn my class then.

well, actually, I've noticed so far it was more lik 30-40% of the time I got queued as DPS, but it's still early Wrath content and even Mages are almost viable tanks as long as the DPS wear heirlooms and the healer isn't asleep.
I tried "Blood DPS" for a bit and it does hit like a wet noodle compared to proper Blood, so changing back to Frost is gonna be the way to go indeed. I think you don't even get Vengeance at all if you're in Frost Presence (I ended up tanking the first double pull in UK when the tank LoSed the healer and bit the dust...Blood Boil ftw!)
