Hi! I play on Frostwolf and want to start a plate melee class. I played much Arms, like it very much. Currently leveling a Ret, I love it too. It seems more fun. I played DK (specifically frost) for a short time, but got an overall idea bout it (i'm not a fan of rune system at all, but I can manage to learn it + I had a feeling there were too few buttons to press, so kinda slow paced lol).
My question is, which one is more viable and overall better on Frostwolf, in your objective opinion?

DK vs Arms vs Ret for MOP

All are viable, playable, and fun but I would say warrior>paladin>dk until pet damages are fixed. (ghoul doing way less damage than it should and gargoyle doing more than it should)

Then Unholy is not a good option. But what about Frost? Can it compete with Arms and Ret?

Well DW unholy is quite good option for garg and death coil scaling.

Ahahaha, nice joke.
DW Unh DK is not a good choice at all.
@topic, As a DK player i can say frost DK is not viable vs warr and ret, but if you play Unh you'll be able to win good warr and rets. Also, Unh is not that bad like people say, honestly i feel Unh DK damage is fine and neither goyle is op nor ghoul is weak...

Nm, was mistaken about ghoul damage. Gargoyle seems to hit a bit harder than it should though. I used this video for reference

Start from the 5 minute and look at the both the dk and hunter's buffs when the garg is shooting at the hunter. It's about 25k non crit with only iron hawk's 10% damage reduction. My dk is doing 41k non crit on a target with no damage reduction with same buffs on me. I can show you ingame if you need me to.
I didn't say unholy dk's were weak. Yes they can beat both of those classes in duels but when it comes to 2v2 arena dk's come up short a bit compared to those two.
edit: there's damage bugs with other classes too so I didn't mean to single dk's out.Edited: October 7, 2016
