No. There is absolutely no new information here. There are some obvious mistakes though:
- Type: should probably be "Tank and melee DPS" or some such (so should Warriors, come to think of it).
- Available weapons: as far as we know, DKs won't be able to use daggers, fist weapons, staves, or polearms. I guess that may have changed, but I'm just not seeing "rune staff."
- Standard Bars: no mention of runes or runic power.
And it's pretty amusing that they clearly made the Death Knight section by copying and editing the Warrior section (which is how these inaccuracies crept in there). Anyway, I take this as a sign that development on Wrath is moving forward and the beta is approaching (after all, the alpha is over).

"Excellents for those who like to take damage"
Sure, all we warriors are sadomasochists.

Oh, and if you look now it's still up...
My guess is that this will "mysteriously disappear" in ~20 mins, just like it appeared.

I was hopping when I clicked "Learn more" it would go somewhere.

Hmm... methinks they need to edit those descriptions. I like this one:
"Guardians of the Holy Light and defenders of the Alliance, paladins...."
Um.... anyone play a BE pally?

That totally got by me, but you're 100% right. How long has it been since the BEs were introduced into the game, again?

It's still up there as of right now... the countdown begins to when the take it down.
...or will they. Maybe there are just gearing up to actually make the class entry? I find it hard to believe they even got the link in there for the correct class page. I think we are seeing a site update in action.

I think we're seeing a case of "OH **** I PRESSED THE UPLOAD BUTTON!"

And apparently I have problems with the word "they."
"...to when THEY take it down."
"Maybe THEY are just gearing..."

IF this is a site update, guys, this can be a sign to Beta releasing VERY soon.
Let's hope this is a site update and not a "accidental upload" type of thing.

This is essentially my big question about DKs. Exactly how are they going to be different from warriors?

Dramatically different.
They'll hold agro primarily through dps and not threat coefficients. That makes them more like Ferals than prot warriors.
They'll manage their special abilities via the rune system rather than rage (or mana). Managing your runic power and it's effects is going to be much more about time as a constraint then the amount you have per se.
They're being designed specifically with anti-caster tanking in mind.
etc.

It's still up on the site. I wonder how long until they take it down.

Shouldn't it be 'learnt' rather than 'learned'?

I wouldn't be surprised if this is some sort of joke/prank by Blizz to try to get people wondering if there is a major difference between DK's and Warriors.
Still here as of 11:38.
