Claim Jumping
You will undoubtedly run into another player who is after the same mineral node as you; in fact you might not even see each other before you are both mining it. This is a place where you have the opportunity to be kind or greedy or even-handed with your character. You might offer the other person the mineral node, or try to take it all for yourself, or even offer to alternate mining at the node to increase both of your skills. If another player is fighting a monster next to a mining node, it’s generally assumed they are planning on mining after their fight. It’s nice to let them finish their fight and mine. If you wish to mine, it’s best to first find out if they are going to mine that spot before jumping in and taking the mine (which can be perceived as rude).

DK’s professions
Can a Death Knight learn Herbalism? I am having trouble getting trained.Every class can learn any profession. Go back to one of the main cities and learn it there. i’m guessing you are in outlands trying to learn it, but it only has the latter end skills.any class can learn any profession. the only thing that may be a pain in the a$$ is the fact that you have to go back to a major city and train for whatever you wanna do (i.e. herbalism) and you have to gather the lower end herbs to get enough skill points to go gather higher end herbs. same goes for mining, skinning…etc.

3.1 Patch
When the patch comes out are they going make all dk’s redo their talent points?When the last BC patch (right before the release of WoTLK) came about for the new talent tree’s they refunded everyone’s talents points.
