US Unholy DK or Ret Pally?

[Soryo]

Hey guys, I've been gone for a few months and want to get back into the swing of things. I have a level 100 Ret Paladin and Unholy Death Knight. I want to level one up to 101, but I don't know which one would be more viable. I plan on doing dungeon runs, old instances, and world quests. Which one would be the better decision?

To be honest with you neither class is exceptional for running old content due to the lack of mobility.

Edit: World Quests aren't open to 101s (only invasions are).

Invasions is what I meant. I appreciate the input. I'll look into other options. Thanks.

I made an 830 all-plate ret paladin and it was trash. I ended up leveling him up to 109 and made him a BG alt since he still performs well there.

I main a 110 UH DK and I can tell you that unlike many other 101 twinks, it will take several seconds to build up your damage. I'm sure UH has great sustained and aoe... if the target(s) lives that long. The problem with 101s is that stuff dies so quickly you will not see the full potential of UH. This, of course, is simply my opinion. I also play a 101 frost DK which absolutely shreds.

My advice, if you have to choose one of the two, is UH. You will probably have to get your ilvl up a bit higher than other classes but with some leech you can pull tons with your plague and burst down massive amounts of mobs if you stack them.
