Is this class supposed to be more powerful

Many posters are stating that this class is a Hero class and ofcourse it will be better than the mundane and lesser classes.

Mostly I am wondering because a friend of mine has an (80)DK and is totally walking over evey class he meets in PvP, yet he was utterly crap (PvP) on the 3 other classes leveled to 70 (pre wotlk).

I would like to know if blizzard intended this class to be vastly superior to the other classes so I can reroll without futher delay. I don't want to play a lesser class unless I have to ...

Class balance is definitely something that we have, and continue to do a lot of work on. It's a pretty major aspect of development, and it is also something that everyone quite rightly has opinions on. Death Knights are indeed subject to the same balance as every other class is.

A couple of the aspects that make this distinct from other classes -- other than the play-style and ability differences -- are the particularly epic starting quests and the fact that starting a Death Knight allows you to skip straight into level 55.
