If he can re-assert his control over Forsaken, why didn't he just go back to Lordaeron and take back the whole race into his scourge army? if he can't be bothered going back to the Undercity then why didn't he use that power on Putriss et al at the Wrathgate? Or Sylvanas in the ICC 5mans? If the process of making you a DK involves making you undead, how can you use that process on someone who's already undead? You're double-undead? If the process of becoming a DK wipes your memories of your life before, how is a Forsaken DK any different from any human DK? After all, a human DK is an undead human and a Forsaken DK is...an undead human. Why would the Horde accept a Forsaken DK on their word that they are one of the Forsaken, rather than just a human DK with more advanced rot?
I think they shouldn't have allowed Forsaken DKs...and at the same time, banned one of the Alliance races for balance (I would be able to accept, for example, that the power of the Naaru would make the Draenei uncorruptable in that way).
