Thanks to KrazyK923 and the videos he uploaded in other thread we now have complete view in death knight story in 7.2 (and oh boy, its huuuuuge).
You can watch videos here btw: (the 2nd one is much more interesting)

Look at the most lore-breaking citations.
Who is this guy working for? The resemblence to early relations between Kel'thuzad and Arthas is uncanny.I have inscribed a series of frozen runes above Acherus. Once attuned, you will be able to communicate with the Lich King more... completely.
He will be able to show you things you never seen before. <Amal'thazad emits a horrible, rasping noise, that you can only assume is a chuckle.>
This confirms continuity between previous Lich King and the current. Helm of Domination doesn't only give you powers, it retains memories. The scene from vision was something that actually happened, on orders of Arthas. Bolvar also mentions that the Helm showed him that vision, meaning - Helm posseses memories of Arthas, and decides which ones to show to Bolvar, so its at least semi-concious...It was here that I saw undead swarming across an icy shelf, seeking a price coveted by Arthas.
That's it. Bolvar-Paladin is gone. By this order, you go and torture a bronze dragon, but it's only the beginning...Find a member of the bronze flight, the tenders of history. Do not be merciful.
By this order, we enter Ruby Sanctum and slay the remaining red dragons, our allies, and Bolvar also manipulates us into making our own decision of killing them, as it's actually impossible to avoid killing during completion of this quest. If you slay all dragons in the sanctum, Bolvar says:A record of their history must lurk somewhere in this sanctum. Spare who you will, or slay them all... the choice is yours.
Uuuuh, okay? (it also suggest you did exactly what Bolvar would do in your position...)You are empty inside, just like me.
Now, with the notes you get from the sanctum you are able to spot the glacier far north from Icecrown itself. There, you get "stuck", with your food and drink frozen (unable to use them), alone in ice wasteland with feral undead hunting you. And then:
This... just... won't even comment.Of course, should you fail to survive, know that I shall claim Acherus for my own. Arthas may have sought revenge on the citadel, but I have... other plans.
At the end, you get a repeat of cinematic of Arthas raising Sindragosa, this time with you in Arthas' place, doing the exact same gesture (even with snow getting blown away) and huge skeletal dragon getting raised as undead.
I don't believe they will let this begin and end within single-class campaign. It's too huge. Death Knight campaign is the most lore-packed of all, the implications are immense. At this point I truly believe we might get WotLK 2.0 in the future.
