I'm toying with a death knight. I've pretty much only played Unholy. I want to double check this build, and see if I've got the right idea for Frost DPS.

Is it viable?

Frost builds tend to go unholy as the secondary tree. Frost's main nuke is Howling Blast which has a free crit with Deathchill and a lot of free crits with Killing Machine, so getting the extra crit in blood isn't as key.
Impurity is also a viable alternative to Tundra Stalker, so you'll frequently see builds that get the ghoul and impurity from Unholy.

is an example.
Also, since you have Killing Machine giving you HB crits, you'll probably save your Deathchill for Oblit crits against single targets.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the extra crit in blood tree will help you get Killing Machine procced faster / earlier?
No, killing machine isn't based on crits anymore, it's been changed to procs per minute.

I toyed around with your build a bit, GenXCub. A couple small differences here and there. Curious about what you think for this one.

Context FTW Lynri.
Firstly, there isn't a 2h vs. DW debate here. The OP Didn't take Nerves of Cold Steel. It's rational to assume he wants a 2h build.
Also, you're free to have your opinions, but they don't make what I said incorrect, so get off your soapbox thinking you're the master of frost builds. 44/27 2h build was shown to be a great frost 2h build equivalent to what anyone else could get with Tundra Stalker. I'm sorry you're that short-sighted.
