Hello there, i am having a hard time to decide wether i am gonna stay frost or go unholy.
I know that frost is more about mitigation but the superior aoe tanking and threat that comes with unholy it is hard to decide. I am both MT/OT depending on our raid setup. Mostly doing 10-mans atm.
Here is my armory:

I hope i made my point clear. Sorry for any spelling mistakes and so on, english is not my first language.

go with which you feel more comfortable with.. what a lot of people don't realize is that
ANY SPEC can tank. I am currently a blood specced tank, and I do just fine. the big thing for you is to go with what makes you feel most comfortable.
before the patch, I went with unholy for tanking. People can say what they want about frost being the better AOE tanking ability or whatever, but I am a huge fan of UH because it feels more comfortable for me. that's the best thing you can do, go with what feels more comfortable for you. if you go frost, you're more reliant on avoidance. if you're unholy, thenyou're better at mitigating damage (due to magic supression, AMZ, bone shield, etc etc). if you're blood, then all of your mitigation comes from self heals (blood aura, rune tap, vampiric blood, etc)
they're all competent to tank if you know what you're doing, which you seem to be relatively smart. lol go with what's comfortable for you.
