Q u o t e:
We have said this before, but I know it's hard to keep up with all the news sometimes. DKs being a hero class means they start at high level and get showered in blue items and mounts while leveling up. It doesn't entitle them to dominate every aspect of the game in which they participate.
A dps DK should do about as well as an Arms or Fury warrior or Enhancement shaman in PvE or PvP.
A tanking DK should be about as effective as a warrior, paladin or druid tank. Your skill, gear, group and the specifics of the encounter may scoot "how effective" up and down quite a bit.
According to your quote GC, Blizzard expects DKs to do as much damage as Arms/Fury Warriors, or Enh Shamans in PVP/PVE.
I assume you specifically mentioned Warriors and Shamans because they are hybrid classes, with Warriors also being able to tank, and Shamans able to heal.
I notice a distinct lack of the other two hybrid classes in the game: Paladins and Druids.
Does this mean that Blizzard expects Paladins and Druids to be inferior to DKs, Warriors, and Shamans in DPS?
