Why so much threat?

First off let me say that im rolling a DK for the 4th time since their release. I have never been past lvl 68 on a DK because i just found them to be a bit boring. I plan to stick it out this time! I am lvling as a frost DK as i enjoy raiding with a friend who is a frost dps and said he enjoys it. I am not having any issues with my DK so far as questing goes, its when im in randoms i have big problems. Every time i hit my icy touch, i seem to get 100% aggro. I am in blood presence at all times which shouldn't be a problem for the threat of icy touch, right? I see where it says "causes very high threat in Frost Presence" which im not in. Only thing i can think of is that maybe my talents are causing it:

. Any help is much appreciated!
P.S. Please dont give me any advice on what my talent tree "should" look like, as im just lvling and trying to have fun. I would like to know if something there is causing my threat. Thank you

Well with the information given i don't see why you would be gaining so much aggro other than jumping the gun and dpsing before the tank has aggro, wrong target or tank sucking. If these are not the case only thing i could tell ya is subversion will help a bit

I meant to add that i always assist and wait for a stomp or maul to go up before i start. I seem to be doing everything right to avoid aggro but, it just creeps up on me. I appreciate your help and will try to see if it gets better before i subvers. Thanks guys and ill keep checking back here

If we consider no frost presence,
More likely his gear outgears the tank.At 62 lvl ur gear is btr (from ur starting dk quests),they just came from azeroth and try to gear for outland.
DK starting gear outdps most of the azeroth content gear except ofc the old tiers, epics including the pvp ones and player experience to tank(even then u can take aggro off of them).
Also low hit causes tank lots of trouble with misses etc and frost got a strong burst with the crits(like killing machine procs).

This is exactly what my friend told me. I've just had to hold back until i know that the tank as a steady aggro hold before using my stronger moves with higher crits.
Thank you everyone! Wowhead has always helped me 210% :D

when i'm doing dungeons with a slow starting tank i'll use my PS first before IT and then pest. it's not a big difference but an extra 1.5 sec for the tank is better then 0. it also forces me to wait till the mob is on the tank as i won't attack it while it's running to the area the tank wants to dps down the mobs.
