I don't think the DK questline is going to be a major acomplishment, more of a lore-backed story questline that makes you travel a lot. The idea is for it to be a 10th class, not for it to be the first "uber"-class. They said in one of the presentations that the idea of the "hero" class is merely meant as a tie-in to WC3, along with allowing them to do things that otherwise may not be construed as "fair" (i.e. starting them at level 60 or 70, having a completely different power system).
The fact it's not arena enabled is, I would assume, just to make sure that it doesn't significantly imbalance the arena system when it's being used for e-gaming tournaments. It's going to be a tough call to get the arena system even back to where it is (which isn't perfect, but works well enough) with new talents and skills, without adding a 10th class to the mix that may not be very heavily played in the first place because of first having to do a significant amount of work (whether that be purely time based, or skill/execution/gear based) in getting to it on top of then having to throw away all that time you spent on your "main" character to level/gear it.
