Hi folks, quick question.
I've decided that one of the things (aside from raiding, which I can't seem to get my mind around enjoying) that I haven't tried is leveling in an environment where the dangers to me are not only the mobs I encounter, but also players of the opposite faction. I imagine it would introduce a whole new level of play style for me (having to be aware of things coming for ME as opposite to me exclusively going for THEM), and it's something I'm willing to try.
To that end, and already having a DK at 71, I decided to roll a fresh DK on a PvP server, knowing how easy they were to level. My other option was a rogue, being able to Stealth would seem to be something of an advantage when you're trying to hide from a horde of nasties, but I settled on the DK due to it's pure awesomeness.
So, my question is, from a build perspective, what direction should I head in. Frost is grabbing my fancy (having already done a fair amount of blood and unholy leveling), but not being anything resembling a competent PvPer (that may change though ;->), I figured I'd level with a spec that provided me with the best chance of survival in a "World PvP" situation. So, what's it to be, Frost, Blood or Unholy - what gives me the least chance of the experience totally sucking for me ... or ... are they about equal and I should pick what I want.
Thanks folks,
Later

Leveling on a PvP serverFollow
I'm still lvling my DK, but it doesn't matter what spec I play because the only PvP I really encounter are the lvl 80 retards with their net being capped so they can only fly around and gank lowbies. I personally have beaten the other low lvl dk's and such being Blood. I haven't ventured into frost or unholy although frost does catch my eye for when I hit lvl 80 whether it be dw frost for dps or tanking. I'll try them all out I guess...who knows.
My pvp dk (on blackrock) is blood. Generally speaking world pvp is either getting destroyed by bored 80s, or short engagements. I found that many of the added pvp tricks in frost just weren't that useful in either situation. But just an opinion.
I leveled my DK on a PvP server as well as my 80 Hunter and although the "excitement" of leveling on a PvP server is different, the engagements you're able to win are going to be winnable in any spec as long as you know all the tricks, but they will be few and far between. I can remember maybe 3-5 encounters that I was actually able to come out alive from and like 30-50 that didn't end so well.
In short, if you want to level on a PvP server, go for it, but the majority of your PvP excietment will not be in the leveling process, but once you hit 80 and start doing teh Icecrown dailies.
It's not all its cracked up to be, if you like it go for it, but it's not really going to change your playstyle...if you want PvP go do BG's.
