Now admittedly, warlocks and shadow priests have just as much of a lock on the vampire phenotype as we do, and even rogues are, in theory, getting into that arena with the whole tier 13 Batman look. But not only are we the only class that is technically immortal dead by default, we http://www.orkut.com/Community?cmm=118742674 have a full tree devoted to the stealing of life and self-healing. Therefore, it could be that a vampire-themed upgrade is exactly what the doctor ordered.

While the more classic forums of Dracula are dressed in a fine cloth suit or armor and the more modern form of the vampire is dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, there are other vampire-like creatures to draw from.

Personally, I'm thinking that Raziel from The Legacy of Kain would be a good start -- a ghoulish creature, his face half shrouded in a dark, tattered cloak. It's still sort of cloth-based:http://patriciasok.insanejournal.com/503.html

but in a good way. It gives that type of necromantic, graveyard feel death knight armor has been somewhat lacking. It's also http://www.myspace.com/video/575344792/10-reasons-it-rocks-to-make-gold-in-wow/108296535 worth noting that the original Warcraft II-era death knight shares a look much like this.
