Death Knight Creation Requirements Removed in a Future Patch
An upcoming content patch is going to remove the requirement of having a level 55 character before you can create a Death Knight.

With availability of the level 90 character boost, we feel the requirement to have a character level 55 or higher to unlock the Death Knight as a playable class is no longer relevant. The plan right now is to remove the limitation sometime next week, at which point players will be able to start a new Death Knight (which still begins at level 55) without first having to reach level 55 on another character.

Update: Upon looking into making this change, we discovered that a few client-side adjustments would need to go through in order for it to work. Therefore, our new plan is to remove the level 55 requirement for Death Knight creation in an upcoming content patch.

Shattered Hand changed from 3.5 to 2.5 RPPM. (WarcraftDevs)

As well as on Blackrock (previously you said "30% chance on deal/take any damage, 40sec ICD)
Blackrock changed from 30% to 100% chance. Must be <60%HP after the hit. (Previously required you to be <50% HP prior to the hit) (WarcraftDevs)

    Was fairly confident Paragon would end up back on top again. It was a close race but Paragon always were ahead of Method, its just a shame Paragon didn't raid 25m in Pandaria, dare I say it that's the only reason Method were #1 for the majority of pandaland.

    It can't be worse than it's always been. There's also no shortage of people who've only been questing and suddenly want to do dungeons at any level. Right now, the proving grounds prerequisite is the only thing ensuring that people in level 100 dungeons are at least familiar with the three roles.

But I think people are hugely over-reacting.
    It's another nail in the coffin for normal level 1-89 grinding. Why bother leveling from scratch at this point if you can buy or skip your way through a free boost, $60 level skip purchases, and picking a DK as your first character at this point? It's not going to make dungeons any better or worse (heirlooms ruined pugs since Cataclysm), but it's starting to show [more] problems with the 1-89 content.
