I am not sure what the point of this is mate, as there are already 2 threads with the exact same information. Is there a reason for the duplicate post? Check Nystali and Lynri's basic tanking guides. I am sure you could add to their info and bolster the already stickied threads as your explanations of talents are clear and concise, though I would disagree with you on some of them.

Sam, I don't mind him doing this. As a Frost tank, and a regular viewer and commenter I do think that it's simply rehashing already posted ideas, but if he wants to post I say go ahead, though he will probably meet with some comments like yours. Now if this is more based on pulls, strategies and personal experiences than it would be something new.

However if this digresses into another Frost tank is the greatest tank and here are builds and gear and spec for Frost than I hope it goes the way of the Blood Tank one that was posted 1 month ago and was soon relegated to the dust bin as it was simply a rehash of common ideas.

This being said, it does seem like he is going to post simply experiences and personal usage.

Des,

Sam's issue isn't with you it's with the abundance of stickies that retell and relate the exact same information or pass along information that has neither been effective or is considered misinformation. Speccing into Hungering Cold, Epidemic, and Morbidity, as well as telling people to glyph Rune Strike (cough Lynri cough ) lol :P jk.

It would be nice to cover the fact that there is a few options when it comes to frost tanking. I grab Icy talons and Imp Icy talons because I tend not to raid with Enhance shamans.

Glyph of Pestilence is by no means a must, and is widely considered a waste of a glyph for Frost Tanks. Check out previous threads where Glyph of Pestilence was noted to be pointless for Frost tanks as we only use one disease, and for Blood and Unholy it was found to be below marginal at best. I never use pestilence I have HB to spread Fever, and HB is always active well before the disease runs out. So explain why I need glyph of disease? Glyph of Raise Dead is automatic. Using your ghoul may not be essential but I am not sure of a single frost tank who doesn't your ghoul whenever they can free dps is free dps. I pop him all the time on bosses send him after adds, and all sorts of nice little fun things.

Finally, Rune Power Mastery, Chill of the Grave, and Scent of Blood should not in any way be taken over 2hand Mastery which is a must have for all Frost DK"s just in threat generation alone. I don't have Chill, Scent, Runic, and only 2 points in Bladed Armor and generate a great amount of threat and am generally capped in runic power not far into the fight, granted there are periods where I run out of runic power and think Scent of Blood would be nicer than Chill, but that's just me.

Here is my tanking spec http://www.wowarmory.com/character-talents.xml?r=Jubei%27Thos&n=Eleazer&group=2. I have no problems tanking anything of substance. Now mine is for 10 man raids and 25 man raids where there is no enhance if there is I spec into the Runic generators, but I typically keep Acclimation specced into. lol, I just noticed I have Glyph of DnD lol. I have no Idea how that got there. I probably got it and forgot it was there Going to have to change that out.
