Death Knights will tank as Blood in Cataclysm We're doing our Cataclysm preview on the death knight changes later this week, but we knew one change risked overshadowing all the others, so we figured we'd go ahead and drop the proverbial Blood bomb today.

Here are a few points of clarification on some of the popular questions or concerns we're seeing. On regenerating shards in combat, we will add a mechanic to regen shards if we find that we need to in order to handle variable combat length.
