PLEASE BE SMARTER THAN YOUR AVERAGE BEAR, AND READ BEFORE YOU BASH.
This always reads to me as "agree with me." Let me ask you this: critique yourself. Is there criticism you would accept?
It doesn't seem terrible IF you want a DK healing tree, although some of it might be a bit imba. But you kept the idea of runes and runic power, to some extent. But, to do so would assume 1. the general public wants a DK healing tree, which I myself have seen no evidence of to date, and 2. people would be okay with sacrificing Frost as a DPS tree, which seems unlikely. There's no need for a fifth healing class. Furthermore, as Orranis said, "stabbing the life into you." Citing Penny Arcade or a "healing shiv" doesn't make that concept any more plausible.
Actually, on rereading, I can't even theoretically support it because your RP and rune redesign is too radical. The resources really *aren't* the same, except in name only.

Death Knight = Reincarnated, sort of undead, killing machine/elite shock troops of the Lich King now freed from his control.
Does not fit in with the lore or history. Why do you want a healer tree? Do you think we should emulate Paladins or Druids? What about warriors, do they need a healing tree? Do all classes need to be able to fill all 3 roles? What is a healing rogue going to look like?
Just no.

Death Knights do not heal.

When I play my DK, I play it because they are cruel and kill things. We are not fluffy bunny lovey things that help others. Beyond that, why on earth would you want to make DK's the new Druid (aka the server bicycle).

As far as lore goes, there is no frost healing.
Healing comes mainly from:
Holy: Priests, paladins.
Nature: Shamans, druids.
Secondary sources of healing are:
Physical: As in bandages,
,
Victory Rush
, etc.
Shadow: "Evil" healing, like
,
Health Funnel
,
Death Strike
. Mainly undead and demonic sources, used for self-healing and for healing minions, not for helping others.
The only evidence of frost healing I'm aware of is
, and that's used for healing an elemental, so it makes sense.
As for the gear issue, I'm positive that int plate isn't as available as str plate, so even if there is no competition, paladins have a hard time finding gear just like the rest of us.

I think it would work with lore, could easily be balanced, provide another healer AND another person for int plate. Frost healing? Almost as possible as fire healing. And fire healing is very possible.
Sorry, I'd say no. I dont like healers(Im a pvper. Healers come in and ruin those 3v1's youre winning), I like my frost spec and really, major changes tend to @#$% &*!@ up. Or blizzards *!@#s the major changes up.
Edit: Wait, they would be able to heal AND dps? OP. Or underpowered as hell.

I already lost my beloved blood spec to tanking. Luckily, I had already started to learn the frost spec back in WotLK, so I was all ready to go when Cata came out.
Currently, I have a frost DW pve spec and a frost 2H pvp spec. I've learned to love frost and would really hate to see the spec changed, especially since I hate pets. I wouldn't be able to DPS without one if frost were to become a healing spec.
So my reasons are partly personal, but an even bigger issue is the lore, as others have said. Frost just doesn't heal. It never has in this game. Water heals, but that is considered nature magic in Warcraft lore. Both logically and lore-wise, swinging a big axe at someone with the might of frost
damages
someone, it doesn't
heal
them.
If the real reason is because of INT plate, well that's just stupid. My suggestion, in that case, would be to redesign pally healing so that it used STR plate. Of course I think this would be a terrible idea, but better than adding in DK frost healing.
