The slow doesn't stack with thunderclap, and talented thunderclap is better than deathfrost. Of course, deathfrost frees you from ever having to watch and rebuff it, but then so does a DPS warrior if you have one.
Executioner on your threat, mongoose for your avoidance weapon. If you're still gearing up (and you are if you are only starting Kara), I'd say go with Mongoose.

Improved thunderclap is a better melee damage reduction however deathfrost reduces ranged and spell cast speed which thunderclap does not. If you can find a case where your primary concern is the amount of incoming spell damage where all your armor and mitigation stats (including mongoose) don't help you then deathfrost will be more effective. Such situations are certainly not common.
As a tank I'd rather always use mongoose however deathfrost is cheap and if you're just getting started tanking or using a weapon you plan to replace it might make more sense to use deathfrost first and save up to put mongoose on a better weapon once you get it.
I'd also consider keeping it around on an off-hand dps weapon for fights where extra tanks are trying to deal damage(not very effective) and where a mix of magical and physical damage reduction might really help the main tank.
