No it wouldn't, don't be jealous. There are just as many bad retribution paladins as there are bad death knights, what does this tell us? The issue is that the DK levelling 'playstyle' is very very simple, there's next to no downtime, and you can pretty much rollface and ignore all your buttons and still hit 80 effortlessly. That's when you hit heroics and people notice that your super pro Obliterate/Blood Boil/Death and Decay 71 point blood DK skills are useless.
