Since the release of 4.3.4 and the transmogrification feature, Warmane's community has started an excessive number of threads asking other people about the best items for transmogrification.
This thread's intention is to give the Death Knight community an official thread to show others just how well you can dress up your Death Knight, and to discuss the work involved.
Here are some tools to help build your wardrobe: Icy Veins - Transmogrification Database MogIt - An add-on that allows you to build and save Transmogrification sets, and then link them to other players (they need the add-on as well to see it)
This is the format(copy and paste):

I don't always do necropost, but since this is a pinned official topic, it doesn't sit right for me to make a topic when this already exists.
If it's still no exception tho, feel free to nuke this post
So I mained a Gnome Death Knight but I find that shoulderpads such as http://wotlk.openwow.com/item=38663 or http://wotlk.openwow.com/item=37115 being too big for my character and thus not feeling practical, while http://wotlk.openwow.com/item=34655 looks too mainstream. Fortunately I've managed to find an alternative, and from that moment on, I managed to find a set that is great to make Gnome Death Knight looks.... well, Death Knight. This also works with other races I believe with minor tweaks and such.
Runeforging is swappable, and you can also use only one type runeforging for both weapons
I hope no one minds a technically retail mog dump. Most of these were assembled during MoP so they should work on Frostwolf.
Unfortunately since I can't log into my retail account to access Mogit (50 toons all 20+), I can't give a comprehensive list of what exactly everything is, but I'll try to at least state the raid or tier/season gear. I'm a heavy solo player so I try to avoid using too many pieces that are Cata HC or MoP raid and therefor would be harder to obtain.
(and yes I'm posting these for every class forum- excuse the "spam" lol)
Shoulders and gloves are Warrior t8 lookalike from Ulduar10. Legs are lvl80 s5 PvP gear. Swords are from EoE10. I also was using Quel'Delar as the 2h for Unholy and Blood, which is of course from the Battered Hilt drop quest in WotLK, but I'm unsure if that works on these servers. Chest is a lowbie blue which has been dropped in AQ and Dire Maul.
First swords are a quest reward from unlocking Pandaria. Second is a generic Cata 2h. Belt is generic MoP set. Shoulders are DK t11. Everything else is lowbie generic set stuff.
Chest and legs are Saltstone set of low level greens. Shoulders are from t7 raids (Naxx/EoE/OS). Belt is a trash drop from ToTN. Helm is DK t14 from ToeS/HoF/MSV. I can't recall where the axes came from.
Swords from Gruul's. Shoulders and gloves are DK starting blues. Boots are lvl85 DK t13 which likely can be bought from Cata raid vendors in SW and Org. I can't recall where the belt or legs are from at all, but the detail indicates they have to be lvl80+.
Does anybody know if there is an alternative to the DK starting gear Head? Sadly i have deleted it and i am searching now for an alternative transmog gear
Arthas wanna_be transmog, in WOTLK expansion Unholy tmog items are ultra limited :P (I'd go with black+darkgreen colors + http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=20131 If it was available in store on Lordaeron)
