I threw this on my wife's external sd but the stock recovery won't see it. I selected apply update from external storage but it doesn't see it. Do I need to put it in the root or a sub folder?

I tried renaming but it didn't seem to work. Anything I missed? The recovery just doesn't see it.

You'll be fine as long as you don't try to flash a 4.4 ROM without the 4.4 Bootloader (take the OTA or Odin the ND8 tar). That's what everybody bricked on, flashing ND8 on the MD4 Bootloader. You already have Knox, as long as you don't try to downgrade your firmware you should be fine.
I should have never done this damn update , apparently kit kat is so horrible that htc has put a hold on 4.4.2 until 4.4.3 is released to fix the battery drain issues with Android os and android system...Note - DO NOT TAKE THIS UPDATE well unless you want fast battery drain and high Android os and system usage

I have virgin mobile as well on MK5. It'll be okay to flash the ND8 tar on Odin right? I've been waiting forever to get 4.4 and I'm itching to upgrade it, lol.

Just follow the instructions in the op and you're good

What you are stating is not true.Many ppl are reporting great battery life,performance and memory usage on this update. You shouldn't post telling ppl "do not update" because of your experience. Every phone reacts differently therfore not everyone is going to experience the same issues you are.

And you're saying there's no way to stop wakelocks? Look at my Android System... 13%. DeBloat and turn off location services, take some permissions away from some apps and you will get good battery life. I've seen just as many wakelocks on any other version of Android, and the links you provided refer to unrooted users who probably don't know squat about their devices. If you are rooted there are plenty of things you can do to extend your battery life. And I was referring to custom TW ROMs not AOSP.
