I don't see why Lore should be much of a problem. Any race is corruptable even Tauren. I think its more a question of how good can they make the story of the corruption for each race?

There has been word. They will not be allowed to use shields they will tank with a 2Hander.
That said tanking roles will probably be best optimised like such.
Warriors = Best tanks against physical damage that crushes. (I.E. end game physical DPS bosses) Best single target tanks
Paladins = Best tanks against multiple mobs/bosses. Best tanks for heroics/5mans when the tank is highly geared. Best aggro generating tanks.
Druids = Best flexible/hybrid tanks. Can DPs, emergency short term heal, emergency add/off tank pickup the best. Great emergency class. Fastest class to early tanking since early gear requirements aren't hard to get. (May be different in WOTLK)
From that I'd say Deathknights will be an anti magic tank class that probably has a hard if not impossible time pushing crushing blows off the table. They will like be similar to a druid in that they will be able to switch to emergency roles quickly as needed during a raid. Oh and I am guessing that their AoE aggro abilities will be a lesser version of the paladins consecrate abilities. I bet they will have more techniques to stop a caster and pull them into range and the such.
