As for how they get involved, I could see DKs being held in reserve, guarding the other flank, or any other really important job that occurs away from the "main battle."
Been tossing that around a bit more, and that thought works. Though; I have a mental image now of at least one incident: A howling mass of undead bear down upon a small but strategic outpost, and all looks grim for the defenders...until fully half the oncoming force turns and summarily murders their own unsuspecting comrades. The sword-banner of the Ebon Blade is thrown into the ground as the leader shoots the defenders a salute, and the death knights and their own rotting minions turn and massacre the cultists that had been in support.
This would probably be most effective towards the latter part of the battle, where the Lich King, distracted by his stand-off with Fordragon and Saurfang and his subsequent Blighting, hadn't been able to reach out mentally to realize his army had suddenly gained numbers not under his own sway.
