Best in Slot: Pre-Raid – Death Knight – Chest Pieces
Here is a general progression of chest pieces for a DPS Death Knight in Northrend for World of Warcraft.
Starting out in Borean Tundra, you’ll want to focus on obtaining the Battle Leader’s Breastplate. This will carry you for three levels until you can hit Dragonblight for the Chestplate of the Ruby Champion.
Your first opportunity to pick up a rare item will be at level 76 with the Kalu’ak. If you’ve completed all of the quests for this faction in at least two out of the three zones where Kalu’ak quests exist, you should have no trouble reaching honored.
You can then run Gundrak for the Forlorn Breastplate of War from Moorabi, or hold off until 80 and complete the quest “Whatever it Takes!” in the Halls of Lightning. Although you can pick up this quest at level 77, you’re more likely to find a heroic HoL group at 80, then you are a regular HoL group at 77.

My first night in Naxxramas as a Retribution Paladin came to an end with Gluth. I’m certain my glowing Whale-Stick Harpoon had something to do with it.
