This was announced in the middle of last year as soon as they announced WotLK was coming out with the Death Knight as a new Hero Class. Feral Druids don't use a shield yet they tank perfectly fine.
At the moment I am not being too presumptuous as only the ones playing the beta will have an idea of how the Death Knight is able to tank, but I would say that it won't just be a solo/party class. If that was the case then there would be no real point in releasing it.
Like Theik I think it will be viable as a tank for the more gimmicky fights with a lot of magical damage, possibly Malygos or something. However again we don't really know what boss encounters there will be or how the Death Knight will actually perform against a none magical boss. For all we know it could be the best thing since sliced bread and every guild will end up running with a Death Knight as main tank!
