You can try
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=jcEMqI0Is0MzzhZhxZfg0h00o with three points to move to taste.
or
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=jcEMqI0Is0MzzhZhxxzhZcgIve ran both in raids and many many heroics, I lean towards the first one because Im a big fan of the bonus stam, str. In either case you need
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=49534 for threat purposes coupled with
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=49491 or
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=51746. The reason being is that your going to be tough to take down regardless but you must maximize your dps since in most heroics the more threat you do the better off it will always be. with viscious strikes your death strike easily can crit for pretty insane life saving ammounts.
Blood gored tends to not always be a good investment since being at top health is not always a given except in certain fights where the tank needs to be topped off. plus by not going down that far you can either safely get anihilation in frost or the str buffs from unholy.
edit important to note that spell deflection just doesnt really work well as a form of defense, neither does will of the necropolis. both solid on paper just havent gotten great traction out of them
If you are going to heavy frost sub then obliterate becomes your threat stick, you could even move
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=50034 around in order to free up points since death runes arent as mandatory. If you go the heavy unholy spec you should use death strke to make death runes and spam as many heart strikes as able .
I really love the spec however its very nature will mean your hit points will be moving all over the place more than other specs due to no mitigation other than a giant hit point total and a ton of healing/massive overhealing at times. It is vital you do what you can to maximize dps for raids and heroics, both specs above do just that with a respectable crit raiting and hard hitting crits.

there's nothing tank-like about that build.. there's NONE of the 5/5/5 in it..
dont use that one

so, this is a blood tanking build i picked.. i'm open to any comments about it as i'm much more familiar with the tanking aspects of frost/unholy, but i put this one together after MUCH thought.
