I've seen on the DK discord a screenshot saying that DK + other classes will get a rework planned for next year.
Also someone else read that it has been confirmed by some xbox devs. 

Any news or articles where we can read up about this? Would be amazing to finally see this class up to par (hopefully) with others after such a long time being bad. Heck, I'd be happy just to have faster animations and proper protections with no changes besides those.
