I loved raiding as frost dps, and back when I used to raid as dps frequently, I used something along the lines of this:

IT - PS - BS or Pest - OB / HB - Blood Tap - OB (FS when I get KM procs)
OB - OB - OB
IT - PS - BS or Pest - OB / HB - OB
OB - OB - OB
I picked up raiding again recently, and I have tried dual-wield frost, but it just feels like I'm not hitting as hard as I used to. I had gotten used to 8k - 10k crits from OB / FS / HB, now I only see 4k - 6k crits. I was using this build:

I also dislike how my Attack Power dropped so much compared to what it used to be (I used to have 4k AP unbuffed, but when redoing my gear for +hit, and losing Bladed Armor, I am now barely over 3k). Also, I can't seem to get a hang of the new rotation, just doesn't feel as streamlined as the one above.
I am using the Torment of the Banished (from Naxx 10) and the Titansteel Bonecrusher. The weapon I used to use was the Titansteel Destroyer.
My question is, simply, can 2h frost still work as well as dw frost, with higher gear levels, or, am I shooting myself in the foot by trying to do 2h frost?

How would a dw variant of the 2h build fare vs. the more or less standard dw build? Meaning....

Or are necrosis / bcb completely vital to dw's dps?
