Once you start playing World of Warcraft you may find yourself attracted to the death knight class. These once heroes started off working for the Lich King Arthas, but they freed themselves to return to their races respective faction with many new powers. Te focus of the class was to be a mix of both DPS and tanking properties, if you decided to take up the tanking aspect of this class you need learn a few things.

Death knights are no popular tanks, so keep in mind that when it comes to a raid situation, the paladins and the warriors are likely going to be more popular than you are. This is generally due to the fact that you do not have a shield, and a perception that death knights tend to lack experience with tanking. Getting over this prejudice is tough, but it can definitely be done, so just keep going. Getting the experience is only a matter of time, after all!
