Frost DK is excellent right now due to the strength of Breath of Sindragosa, an ability that nevertheless cannot be used effectively in competitive pvp. Death Knights are also - still - one of the squishiest, slowest classes in the game, which makes them an enormous liability in Arena.
There are five DKs in the top 500 rated 3v3 players. Five. One percent.
The only people still playing DK competitively on ladder are the absolute best, most die-hard dedicated DK players - and they'd almost certainly rank higher if they played just about anything else.

They could be permanently deleted from the game - however unlikely, but it'd "literally" be worse.
They always told me I would miss my family... but I never miss from close range.
BoS even without the heavy pvp nerfs couldnt be used in pvp because it can be countered by a simple root or WALKING.
What is even worse, all three MAJOR DAMAGE TALENTS, the three used to do pve dps, ColdHeart // FrostWyrmsFury // BreathofSindragosa are all still nerfed by 80-90% in PvP since nearly 2 years now. And since there are no alternative talents in PvE in each row, this 2 year nerf alone means at least -15% DPS in PvP because the PvE talents cannot be even used - thanks to to 80-90% damage nerfs to each of them.
Just to give an example about the scale of the nerfs:
The 3 minute cooldown FrostWyrmsFury does ~20k CRIT damage, yes under a regular stormstrike. 3 minute cooldowns versus a regular ability.
