So because they can self heal, they are OP?
Okey. Cool.
We stopped searching for monsters under our beds when we realized that they were inside us.
Tell me something, my friend. You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?

death knight will always be the "solo" class, =)) tell him congratz and move on =P no need to be jealous or something because u cant do it with your class
It's not really that DKs are OP, it's just stupid that gear that is equivalent to dragon sould heroic item level is equippable at level 80 so that people can reach near invulnerability due to dodge/parry/mastery scaling up to insane levels. A level 85 or even level 90 DK would not be able to do all the things that can be done at level 80. Because of that gear.
The other stupid desicion which is fully shown in this video is that vengeance had the cap removed, even if new encounters are designed with this in mind it limits the type of mechanics you can have in a fight and we've already seen examples of tanks stacking CDs to survive "one-shot" mechanics and reach unintended levels of DPS thanks to that.
I can pop wol up for our next raid.
On stone guards I'm usually between 70-90k dps, second dps is usually under me by 2-3k(rogue), and everyone else is between 60-70k dps. Feng I'm riding around 80k dps generally, Troll guy is a terrible test of dps - but thanks to being able to use Touch of Death on CD I'm usually around 65-75k dps.. Spirit kings I was around 60k dps this week, We're stuck on Elegon, so not a very accurate test of dps - we rarely survive to phase 3(pillar phase)..but I'm usually around ~100k-115kish.
My groups not amazing, but they're not bad. Tank dps is still pretty damn high. I outgear my entire raid group by roughly (on average) ~8-11 ilvls though. I'm at 485, they're all between 470-475, minus 1 person - who's at 478 thanks to galleon and Sha being nice to him.

There was a thread about an 80 mage doing ulduar last week or so.

Really, if a mage can do it, just about anyone with a semblance of a self heal can do it. (Mages being the one class who doesn't have a self heal.)
Looking at top WoL parses tanks are holding the top dps spot on every fight that does not buff DPS above normal levels, both on 10 heroic and 25 heroic. The only time DPS classes are currently better is on the fights where DPS is buffed above normal levels but vengeance is not. Looks like it's just your tanks that are bad
But mages do have a self heal.
you're a little late, believe it or not DKs have been soloing things since the class came out. the ability to heal and absorb is to DK as stealthing is to a rogue. Its not OP, its working as intended.
and since when is being able to kill outdated irrelevant bosses considered OP? thats like saying prot Paladins are OP because they wreck the meters at level 20ish...
well first he is clearly not doing HCs... HCs do a lot of damage so vengeance goes a little crazy...
For normals I higly doubt it... most of the cases the fights provide tanks stuff to improve their damage... not the other way around...
In any case Id like to see his parses... since noone beats him in dps. Ever
25 heroic raider here, our druid tank is usually in the top 5 dps. i can confirm that on most fights they can and will perform better than most dps, unless the gear is in the dps' favor and the tank is less geared. but our tank is a druid, and we have no rogues or other druids, so when shit drops its his.

EXACTLY my point. pretty sure there has never been a DK nerf for the sole purpose of lowering solo ability. some people like it, and its not an actual thing that they can keep track of, like the current raids. so they dont do anything, unless it conflicts with current content.
for example, If death strike was healing too much, causing a problem with DKs in the current content, making them superior to other tanks on most fights, causing everyone to start stacking blood DKs in their raids because it made it so much easier. It would get nerfed.
But if deathstrike heals the perfect amount in current raids/pvp , but back in old raids it heals for so much because everything is scaled higher, causing the DMG done to be ALOT less than the amount you can heal, making it easy to kill raid bosses in other raids, blizz wouldnt do anything about it.
well, im not revising that, too lazy..
