Im not technically near to roll a DK but it helps me understand them when i know what tree does what. I was told Blood is good for leveling due to the healing/dps(?). Frost was good for tanking due to armour/AOE(?). Unholy is good for massive dmg/PVP(?).
like can guys/girls help me understand, even possible give me some Pros/Cons too. Thanks.

Re: [Question] Death Knight
DK is the only class that can do everything with every tree. The class was designed around the concept of versatility, which Blizzard admitted was a wrong move.
No pvp team felt they needed a new class, no pve raiding guild felt like they had a spot for a new class. So they made death knights extremely versatile so they could be used for everything.
But frost tank, blood leveling, unholy pvp are the preferences of people. Every tree will work for everything so don't think an unholy tank must be a noob.

Just ran into a blood/uh dk level 69 with 20k hp.
Re: [Question] Death Knight
All trees can tank and all trees can dps.
IIRC bllod is better at solo target, undead use to be the better AoE one( but they nerfed something) and frost was capable of both.
Also do the questline of a DK because it's epic and then delete the char.

Re: [Question] Death Knight
Frost was the best of the three before 3.1 imo. They changed the way the talents worked, and I think they messed up by doing that.
