Switching to Blood for Tanking

My 80 DK tank on Silver Hand is Blood, but only recently. He was a frost tank for all of LK up until a couple of weeks ago (and blood seems to suit me better than frost, or at least equally).
Playing with a different set of friends on Proudmoore, I have my DK up to 71 and I made his tank spec Frost. So while I'm familiar with both frost and blood tanking mechanics, would it be a bad idea to make a 71 DK a blood tank? Is blood mostly for 80's with tier gear?
tl;dr, at level 71 does blood=frost for tanking? Or is the success of blood based on a specific gear level?

Blood tanking performs better with better gear. Frost is probably a better option for leveling/gearing tanks.

Tanking while leveling is done fine with any spec whatsoever. From a healing perspective, the biggest difference in leveling dungeons are the 'tanks' that have a second set of gear to tank in. Dps ferals, ret paladins, arms/fury warriors all tank perfectly fine if they carry around a set of the
cobalt tanking gear
you can craft for a lotal of 20-30g or something trivial.
