Death Knight Talents:

The Death Knight talent system has changes some in WoD as they added a new talent tier and some changes were also made to existing talents.

Death Knight Tier Talents:

Tier 1 (level 56)
Description
Death Coil and Frost Strike also infect your target, adding 4 sec to the duration of Frost Fever and Blood Plague, and adding an additional stack to Necrotic Plague.

Consumes your Blood Plague and Frost Fever on the target to activate up to two random fully-depleted runes as Death Runes.

30 yard range, 25 second cooldown

Surrounds the Death Knight with a vile swarm of unholy insects for 10 sec, stinging all enemies within 10 yards every 1 sec, infecting them with Blood Plague and Frost Fever. This is good for AOE fights where you want to infect a group at once or if you want to refresh diseases when outbreak is down on the main target.

90 second cooldown

Tier 2 (level 57)
Description

Draw upon unholy energy to increase Leech by 10%, and make you immune to Charm, Fear, and Sleep for 10 sec. This is a great PVP talent and is also very good self healing and protection for pve.

120 second cooldown

Places a large, stationary Anti-Magic Zone that reduces spell damage done to party or raid members inside it by 20%. The Anti-Magic Zone lasts for 3 seconds. This is usually considered the best talent in most raid encounters due to the damage it can save the raid during magic encounters. This talent had the damage reduction lowered by 20%.

2 minute cooldown

An unholy pacts grants you the ability to fight on through damage that would kill mere mortals. When you would sustain fatal damage, you instead are wrapped in a Shroud of Purgatory, absorbing incoming healing equal to the amount of damage prevented, lasting 3 sec.
If any healing absorption remains when Shroud of Purgatory expires, you die. Otherwise, you survive. This effect may only occur every 3 min.

This is a very good talent for avoiding death in tough encounters.

Tier 3 (level 58)
Description

You passively move 10% faster, and movement-impairing effects may not reduce you below 70% of normal movement speed. When activated, you gain 30% movement speed and may not be slowed below 100% of normal movement speed for 6 seconds.

This is considered to be the best PVE talent for this tier.

30 second cooldown

Victims of your Frost Fever disease are Chilled, reducing movement speed by 50% for 10 sec, and your Chains of Ice immobilizes targets for 3 sec. This is a good talent for PVP.

Lifts an enemy target off the ground and crushes their throat with dark energy, stunning them for 5 sec. Functions as a silence if the target is immune to stuns. Replaces Strangulate.

60 second cooldown. This can be a good talent for PVP.

Tier 4 (level 75)
Description
Every 15 Runic Power you spend will generate a Blood Charge. Max 12 charges. Blood Tap consumes 5 Blood Charges to activate a random fully-depleted rune as a Death Rune. This is marginally considered the best talent in this tier for blood and unholy.
When you spend Runic Power, you have a 1.50% chance per Runic Power spent to activate a random fully-depleted rune.

60 second cooldown

Corrupts the ground in a 8 yard radius beneath the Death Knight for 10 sec. While standing in this corruption, the Death Knight is immune to effects that cause loss of control.
