Check out some of my other Hero Concepts and feel free to let me know your thoughts and opinions.
I see that you have made Hero Concepts for both Koltira and Th***arian and gave BOTH of them the same Traits by the looks of it. What's the point? Why not give each of them only one presence if either of them are mostly either Blood, Frost or Unholy focused anyway? They would be too similar in that regard. Plus you're making this whole Trait thing here more complicated than it needs to be. You don't need to port half of the Death Knight class' abilities, or Prensences in this case, from WoW to HotS.
And this is just my personal opinion but I don't think either Th***arian and Koltira are so well known or overall liked characters that they should be added to the game. Not to mention how we have Arthas pretty much covering the whole Death Knight thing. But if I had to add one more Death Knight like hero to the game I would go for Darion Mograine. Can't think of any other Death Knights whom I would see 'worthy' enough to be added. But I doubt he will make it either.

Yeah Darion and teron Gorefiend are very strong to be added to HoTS also that Deathbringer is quite good opt. But when there will be room for them why no add them... It's good to have more Heroes...
Yeah that army... Which he supposedly not have in original. Where are Valkyries, Defiles and other iconic stuff from his boss fight...
Yeah wotlk was a long time ago so I forget that... (sorry for that abuse on don't playing wotlk on your saurfang concept)
I was thinking that Lurid be a Lane/Mercenaries minion while Koltira's Ghoul be an extension of himself ie shadow infusion.
I would like to use Army but it's already taken (Damn you Arthas <shakes fist at the sky>). I remember when DK could Raise Dead on all specs so in my mind Frost and Unholy having a Ghoul makes sense.
I am planning on using Dancing Rune Weapon for another Hero after I finish Vanessa Vancleef.
Death and decay looks great but you could implement Gargoyle or Dancing Rune Weapon (yeah i know it's from blood but since he has blood runes as well he could have this option) in case of second heroic.
To the ghoul. I don't know. But with that Lurid on Th*** people might get confused. But yeah I know that unholy is iconic for having a ghoul by his side. Maybe it's viable :)
Thanks, sw1tchCZ, I guess I will just insert Talents as a text format and not do anything fancy. It has been doing this with Th***arian as well nit not Saurfang
Wow I didn't except that fast reaction. So good job and with your problem I don't know, like now i have one concept but it has only abilities and it isn't finished yet so i can't tell whats wrong... To heroics i read it at home and tell which one is suitable for him :)
Thanks sw1tchCZ. I realized after I had started work on it I had put the wrong name to Unholy and Frost. I will make Th*** Frost and Koltira Unholy.
I plan on removing Death grip as a Concept option for Teron Gorefiend (I will start him after I finish the Trio of Death Knight's I have started).
One more thing, I have extra heroics for the Death Knights, that is because I have more ideas for abilities than I need thus I am leaving the 2 heroics to be decided by the community.
Nice work with all that DK's. But i have some feeling that you have it wrong. Th*** is, for as I know, Frost DK and Koltira looks like Blood or Unholy or maybe Frost too due to his runeblade called Byfrost. The fact that Th*** have Lurid (where is he in your concept???) is that he was Alliance soldier in squad with Th*** on his mission in Northrend. But he was/is on some core talents for Frost DK's. Deathbringer is correctly Blood (it's easy due to his name).
