Frost absolutely slaughters blood for running heroics. 1 howling blast (non crit) is worth about the same amount of damage (aggro) as anywhere from 5-6 blood boils with full diseases. Plus glyphed HB applies a disease whereas with blood u need 3 runes and alot more time to get the kind of aggro that frost gets.
And never. EVER dual wield as blood. Healers will pull off u easy -.-

If your lucky like me than you never really get horrible healers, or at least you get heals that out-gear it so much they can slam their heads on the keyboard and heal effectively even if they dont have keys bound to their spells. But the tanks real job is to have all the enlarged spiders and such to beat his butt while everyone else lays on the uber phat deeps.
I would rather have a tank that could keep aggro well but didnt have any self heals than a tank that could self heal like a boss but couldnt hold aggro worth a ^&*!.
IMO go frost, the measly blood heals really arent worth it and the aoe aggro can be pretty pathetic.
But raids are a whole 'nother story...

well... a long long time ago in a land far away...
blood 2h is pretty much the master of threat and the go to spec for alot of serious DK tanks. Frost is reasonably close behind but blood has more threat+a larger health pool. Whereas frost has more mitigation. All in all, you should play what you like, but if you like dual wielding as anything other than frost, find a new thing to like.
And everyone lived happily ever after.
Edit: added fairytail ending.

Second, is that when I do alot of PuG's like me you come to find out that Blood is your best friend when it comes to healers that are awful.
While Frost your just dead meat :( Awh the horriable choices ahead of me.
Then you are doing it wrong.
I'm rarely dying, unless healer is in Outland greens. (Which, in 80' heroics, fall into "idiot" category)
For all my ventures from start to now on my 80' DK, I saw only one(!) clearly idiot healer. Yes, there was DC's, yes there was undergeared people, but one way or another I managed to do what was need to be done.
But with idiot healer that can't even cast heals, no matter how good you are, unless you can solopwnfaceroll it, no way you can do it past first boss. Whichever instance it is and whichever the boss.
