Anybody think it might be cool if Death Knights had more than just the Ghoul pet depending on what tree they spec into? LIke blood spec could have an abomination with some kind of dmg mitigation cooldown or a passive buff to increas stam or armor, add a geist or something to the frost tree and have it give like a haste buff, and give the unholy ghoul some kind of new ability.
I know its an expansion late seeing as how were past the whole undead thing now, and DKs dont use the pet mechaninc that much, I always thought it would be an interesting idea though.

Not I wouldnt wanna see each spec get a pet, blood would be insanely OP. Its fine with just Unholy having the pet.

Blood does have a pet, its called bloodworms, and ghoul with 30% uptime maximum. Frost also has ghoul 30% uptime maximum :D

While I don't like the idea, maybe a glyph changing the way your ghoul looks like would be neat. Like imagine having a ghoul pet that looks like Thassarian's skeleton? or maybe even a geist?
It would still be a ghoul just would look different.

So basically, a "Guardian of the Ancient Kings" for DKS?
With passive stealth detection, please.

Hmm Unholy Dk's would disagree with you. There Ghoul makes up a fair amount of there dps. And they losing there pet hurts there dps badly.
Also I like the Idea and the appearance change gylph.
Name it: Glyph of Minion
Text: Transforms your ghoul into a random undead mob.
Make the gylph a minor and base it off of something like the Tree of Life gylph that Resto Driuds sometime use.

This I really like. I mean its not a game breaking change but would give some change to the same old model. and if it's a minor and if you don't like the changed looks, don't worry about it.

I think whatever the pet is, the attributes should be the same - i.e. just a cosmetic change.
It would be nice to get a random undead based on the opposite faction!
Like a BE DK summon a human/gnome/etc and a Human DK summon a BE/Tauren/etc!
Very "DK"ish no?
No. Its a minion aka an undead under your control, not a self-conscious deathknight.

While I agree a different pet for each spec would be cool, it just wouldn't be fair. A glyph that changes
only
the appearance of the pet would be great! An Abom for the Blood, an Ice Revenant for the Frost, and maybe a different varition for Unholy. Epic?

I see what you mean but it'd still be a concious being - its a lore thing. Ghouls are just minions, while the typical undead retains free will(mostly).

No, they arent like the rest of the ghouls. DK's, forsaken and some other forms of undeath(lich, for example) arent minions in the form of absolute control, like ghouls/gheists/abos/skelletons are, because they still retain a degree of free will. The ones who are deemed "good enough" become the former, the rest becomes the latter.
And I doubt a simple deathknight could keep another being like himself under control. Look what Arthas did when he was struck by the Ashbringer.

Although I don't want pets for each spec, I would like the idea of more cosmetic changes for Timmy.
Nothing big, no Gnome AotDs, but something along the lines of a minor glyph that turns your ghoul into a skeleton wielding a sword or perhaps a shade would be cool, but it'd probably create more problems because then players would expect unique Dark Transformation skins.

My DK is frost because I don't want a permanent pet.
