I loved tanking as frost, but it seemed like I had a harder time holding agro. Nobody seems to wait for you to build threat anymore. After I moved to unholy however, threat was never again an issue for me. I was gonna go back to frost with HB having it's CD removed, but blizz changed their mind on that. I just wish I would've known before I blew 100g on respecing.

Well I leveled as Frost, I have to say I have never had a problem with aggro (though I read that the DKs have problem with single target aggro).
I believe this is because of not using the correct abilities.
But from my experience, if I had problem, it was because of me.
E.g. running in with Unholy Presence and forgetting to switch to Frost.
But what might be your problem is missing the hits. Having low hit chance not only messes our combo (I don't really like the word rotation as you need to prioritized not blindly use same sequence for everything) but also loosing aggro.
Other thing which help is having macroed the Rune Strike to all attacks, so you don't need to watch for the proc and it simply goes off with next attack. This is also main RP dump attack which now does nice aggro.
Though, you can still find yourself with more then 50RP from time to time, especially at the end of the fight with less targets.
Also with groups, I usually put DaD first and let first tick pass so when I DG main target and do IT, PS, Pestilence, I have frost and unholy rune ready for HB.

Do not use DnD on controlled pulls. (only if you get a extra pack or you dont have time for pestilence rotation). As frost Howling Blast is far superior to DnD and dont let anyone tell you otherwise.
IT on first kill target > PS > Pestilence > Howling Blast > Blood Boil >
If you crit your Howling Blast you can pretty much /afk for the rest of the fight.
Once you get the hang of it try this build

(probably requires a bit of gear though to be useful) and never lose aggro again. I do 6000 TPS on single targets in 5mans.
