It's niche is best "new class" that you had to pay real CA$H for a chapter (Morrowind) to get and NOT have ZoS be rampantly accused of "buy to win"
I think it worked.
Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis
Do you really believe that is part of their logic on releasing a class? Really? I don't believe you do but I do believe you wanted to release some salt and figured "hey might as well do it here while making a faux point".
The only thing warden needs is the same thing EVERY class that isn't DK needs...a pull that isn't ass to use.
Silver Leash needs to be a one-button pull like unrelenting grip is.
1 Templar + 1 Warden is significantly better than 2 templars or 2 wardens for raid healing. The two classes compliment each-other very well and orbs are leagues better now that synergies have been fixed.
Outside of vet raid environments, every class can fill every role with sufficient effectiveness.
Give us a generic pull ability that anyone can use, and DK will be less oppressive in the tanking sphere.
It's posts like this that make me cringe, and glad I play this game mostly solo or with friends.
This elitist mentality of "You must min/max everything to be viable!" is absurd. I don't give a flip if you want to play a Khajit mag sorc, if that's your thing, go for it. Not having a tiny racial buff is not going to mean you can't play the damn game.
BUT ERMAHGERD LEADERBOARDS! Ok, if that's really your only concern, then yes, minmax everything.
Otherwise, just let people enjoy the damn game please.
