DK a hollow class?

Ok!

Some people would argue that.. you can't have (mage, rogue, hunter, warrior, ect..) start
at 55 cause you wouldn't be able to learn the class in that time.

So.. If DK's can start at 55, is it wrong of me to think of DK as a hollow class for kicks
that's easily learned. (Or easier to learn then other classes?)


EDIT:
Well here are my Concerns.


It seems with the opening of the DK Class... they are starting a trend of
letting players skip content that they have done it before.

That's fine and dandy!!

But it seems that it takes a long time to make new classes and people
with different play styles are stuck grinding 79 levels now, to get to "When the game starts."

Will arenas only be playable at 80 now?

I'm asking.. why are we only letting DK's start at 55 for long time players, or
why aren't we making the low-mid game fun to play again for those not
liking the DK class?

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

Easily learned? I guess that would depend on your own capabilities as a gamer. We feel that this class is being designed to be challenging to learn and that is why we have a quest series lined up just for the death knight and just for learning how to play one. Easier to learn than other classes isn't the intention and there will be some challenge simply in changing your mindset to how the rune resource system works. Impossible to learn? No. That wouldn't be all that fun.
