Death Knight Addons
First of all, let’s negate all the addons that are essentials for most players. You know, the Carbonite Quest Helper, Auctioneer, and any other type of addon that helps you get through World of Warcraft a little easier. Those having nothing to do with the information you will find below. The only type of Death Knight addons we want to talk about right now are the ones that will enhance your toon’s abilities. These are the five we believe can change the landscape of your game play.
The Rotate Addon
Even though many of you prefer to use your own spells during game play, there are times when everyone could use a little help. The Rotate addon is a nice little tool for Death Knights who aren’t sure what they should use next to take out an opponent. While it won’t be something you use all the time, it helps to know a suggestion can be made to you in case you aren’t sure how to beat an enemy.
Loracks DK Optimizer
Even though the Rotate addon can help in the early stages of a Death Knight, the Loracks DK Optimizer will be used from levels 55-80 and beyond. Like the previous one, this addon will not only give you a rotation suggestion, but it will also help figure out how to raise DPS. Then of course give you an advantage to gaining more health regeneration. Great for PvP, but even better once they upgrade to help with talent points.
Tank Warnings
No one really appreciates the Tank Warnings addon until they have it while in a Dungeon or Raid. It gives you the opportunity to see whether or not certain spells and abilities are effective against different enemies. Also, if you have it set up the right way you can have the messages sent to a log. However, we recommend having them go to either your Party or chat boxes. This way you know what is going on right now.
Ackis Recipe List
Out of all the Death Knight addons available, the Ackis recipe list is the most intriguing. It used to only work for professions, but after the Death Knight Hero Class was invented, they added Runeforging to this list. So now when you’re missing a specific recipe, the ARL will allow you to figure out what is missing. It’s already set up to be printable, which should save you a substantial amount of time when trying to find them by yourself.
Face Smasher
Last but not least is the Face Smasher addon. Many players enjoy the fact that this will measure and analyze all of your Death Knight’s runic traits. Everything from spells and DPS to AOEs will be able to get better stats from having this addon. Well, it will offer you the tools to figure out what is needed, but the rest of the work is up to you. In all you will get up to 5 suggestions at one time.
More Available
Even though we gave you five different Death Knight addons that many people use, there are plenty more available. Overall you can find almost 40 different addons for the Death Knight class. When searching for the ones that work best for you most people come back to these five. Then again, you may be trying something different. If so, we recommend looking at each of them to see if there is anything better.

im not a huge fan of rotation addons (because many people just use those and dont bother to research the optimal rotations for their gear/spec), but you have a nice list of the better ones. another addon that can increase dk’s abilities are runewatch (or similar addons) because it allows you to choose where your runes will be so you can focus on them more for your rotation.
but the ackis recipe list is one that i use (though i have to disable it when i raid). it helps increase the other professions by alot, and since dks start at 55 w/o any recipies, its very good in profession leveling.
