All DKs in the same faction start at the same zone. The zone, however, is not DK-only. It's also not instanced at the moment but it will surely be to keep players without WotLK expansion out.
Ebon Hold is the place which is DK-only and can only be accessed via Death Gate, only to be opened and used by DKs.
There also is a flight master in Ebon Hold but we all know that you actually need to be there to activate that flight point.
Actually, up until you do the final battle at light's hope chapel, it IS instanced. There are even several versions of the instanced area that you pass through as you do the quests, and you can only see/interact with other death knights who are in the same version of the instance as you.
The reason it's done that way is because the terrain and buildings (and mobs) change as you progress through the starting quest chain. When you first start off, there's enemy mobs all around death's breach (the initial quest area) - but after a few quests they dissapear, because you've lead the scourge armies down and wiped them out.
After that you have to attack new avalon which is full of mobs as well. A few quests later, new avalon is burning to the ground and is devoid of hostile mobs.

So now im confused it seems conflicting. If we both start at the same time then will we be able to party up or will we be on our own till after lights hope?
you can group with other deathknights in the starting zone who are at the same point in questing as you. Myself and one other deathknight started at about the same time, and kept up with each other on quests until the final battle at light's hope where we were grouped up for the event.

Visas, please tell me you just didn't say the battle at lights hope is NOT part of the instance? I'd hate to be rumbling through with the Scourge assault and suddenly find myself shanking the hell out of some poor 55 who just signed up a week before the expansion.
I honestly dont know if the final battle is instanced or not, it probably is though since there's too much opportunity for others to interfere with the quest.

I've read at least 4 posts, maybe more, from people with 70s gleefully anticipating the death and destruction they would rain down on the poor level 55 DKs as they tried to do their beginning questlines on PvP servers... so if Blizz has any brains at all (and I suspect they do) the final LHC battle will be instanced also.

The instanced portion of the quests goes all the way until about level 58 (you may be late into 57, I dinged 58 during the final quest).
In the final battle at light's hope, you are "turned into" an elite. You get the gold dragon around your portrait as far as I can remember, and your stats are multiplied to some insane levels. At level 57 during that final quest, I was getting near 20k crits on the mobs - most of which are over level 60.
So, if any higher ups did try to 'gank' you during that time period, you'd smear them across eastern plaguelands with little to no effort.
