The hardest hitting skills in pvp hit for anywhere between 12k-26k, but the 26k hits are pretty rare. You want to avoid being 1 shot when you're not able to defend yourself (like while mounted), and with 18.8k hp and no shields up I rarely get 1 shot, usually just 2 shot, and that gives me time to panic shield, assuming no lag.
Edit: don't know much about the DK class but I'm sure someone else will let you know. Also is the hp you quoted inside cyrodiil? And with or without food buffs? Cos that matters.
