mostly AoE for PvN and single target for PvP

 

for PvN(Player vs NPC's), AoE

 - PvN will mostly consist of dungeons, quests, solo farming, underwater territory events...etc

   you will be fighting multitude of enemies so it make sense to go for AoE life steal

 

 

for PvP(Player vs Player), Single Target

- PvP will be mostly arena, war, GvG events, castle wars...etc

  skill like sharp shadow gives you a 50% life steal if you have saturation active as well as 80% chance to stun the enemy at max level

 

AoE skills might be useful in certain PvP scenarios and the other way is true about single target in PvN

you can't get enough of the joy of going from 1k health to 9k health because of 1 steel hurricane that hit ~10 targets, its the best feeling

Thanks. Is there a middle ground?

If your Death Knight focuses also on Magic Damage, a good compromise might be Kiss of Death. Aside that, Death Call and Steel Hurricane, our class hasn't got that much potential in 1 vs many, I fear. Even on single target, I would mainly go for skills like Steel Hurricane which can still crit and heal you as a consequence with a good ammount of Life Steal.
