Being a Death Knight, you have several different play styles to choose from while leveling, but my personal favorite is the Unholy Death Knight Leveling Build. This is one of the most powerful Leveling specs for DK's but not many people know how to truly unlock the potential of this spec. Read on, and you will discover all the most powerful secrets to help you reach level 85 in no time using an Unholy Death Knight Leveling Build.

Unholy has some unique survivability techniques and abilities that you can't really find in other Death Knight Specs. First, you get to choose your passive movement ability early in Improved Unholy Presence. Normally you would have to wait until level 70, but with an Unholy Death Knight Leveling Build, you can spec into the movement increase before you ever finish the DK starting quests. Second, your ghoul adds some impressive DPS, but where it helps while leveling, is the added survivability in stuns and tanking for you. Desecration also helps you burn down on a portion of a mob's health, while you chain pull and your diseases, Unholy Blight, and ghoul finish them off. This essentially allows you to do more work in half the time. This takes some practice, but when you get it down, the Unholy Death Knight Leveling Build pulls way ahead of any other leveling build.

Essentially you want to fill out all the talent points in the Unholy tree except Resilient Infection, Death's Advance, Unholy Frenzy, Magic Suppression, and Anti-Magic Zone. You have the option to sub-spec into Blood or Frost. Blood will give you extra DPS and Runic Power through Bladed Armor, Butchery, and Scent of Blood. A Frost Sub spec will give you extra survivability through the Lichborne Talent. When you become Undead with this ability, you can cast Death Coil on yourself for some powerful heals. The increased damage and healing to Deah Coil make this an excellent sub-spec for an Unholy DK Leveling Build

The Glyphs you choose can be just as important as the talent points you choose. Your prime glyphs will be the same regardless of your spec. You want to choose Death Coil, Raise Dead, and Scourge Strike to buff your most powerful abilities. For your major glyphs, my personal preference is Pestilence, Death Grip, and Dark Succor. Dark Succor is an important healing mechanic, while increased Range to Pestilence and Death Grip give you some more chain pulling capability. Your Minor glyphs will depend a little bit on the sub-spec for your Unholy Leveling Build. If you sub-spec Frost for Lichborne, you definitely want Death's Embrace so you get a half price self heal. If you sub-spec Blood, your choices are Horn of Winter, Path of Frost, and Blood Tap for the extra rune.

Overall, this should be a good start for Leveling your Death Knight in World of Warcraft. However, without the proper questing route, you're simply grinding, and that is one of the slowest ways to level. There are leveling guides available that already have all the best leveling routes for any race and class.
