Death Knights in Mists of Pandaria are not undergoing any changes other than the talent revision that all classes are going through. Runes, Runic Power, abilities, pets, etc. will all function pretty much as they did before.
As far as the talent system, take all your Cataclysm builds and chuck ’em. The whole thing is being completely revised.

Death Knight Specs
This table shows the abilities unique to each spec of Death Knight. You will learn them from your trainer and they’re not talents. You don’t not need to spend varying amount of points into any of these abilities (unlike Cataclysm talents.)
