Both are somewhat fail builds, to be honest. You've done deep into the unholy tree, but not far enough to grab the biggest threat generating ability you'd have, scourge strike. You're also missing Rage of Rivendare, which increases your abilities damage by 10% (and therefore, their threat).
I would play with a frost focused build for tanking. Make sure you go all the way to get Howling blast, or it's just not worth it.

Uhmm have u ever tanked with a group of "good" dps'ers in it ?
DnD + UB can't keep the threat up without SS, trash might not be a problem as it dies quick with a good group. But Boss Fights will be a pain for u without SS. Unless ur group has bad DPS u might pull it off.
Also as a DK tank i never ever had to use Death Strike to keep me alive. Healers do keep me alive, smart use of ur CD's will save u not death strike. Only heal i use is the racial Draenei heal, as its an HoT it has it's uses as a small form of damage reduction during AoE run away situations when my CD's are not available.
Also when pugging with trigger happy DPS u could have a problem and need to taunt/death grip constantly.
about the spec's..
Both needs changes..
1st spec Rune Tap isnt usefull u got healers drop it.
Better get 5/5 dark conviction for better threat.
If u insist of getting rune tap drop spell deflection for it.
2nd spec Icy Reach isnt usefull as u are a tank and tanks are in melee range. Ur better of taking the less useless talent as Rune power mastery. Drop Killing machine as u only have Icy tough effecting it get annihilation instead so u can use Obliterate for atleast a form of threat.
Both spec's
Drop Unholy Command, i never use Death Grip more than 1 time per pull cuz i maintain my threat. (save 2 points)
1point in epidemic is enough (save 1 point)
Drop ravenous dead and get outbreak instead.
Put these 3 points in SS and 5/5 Necrosis and 1 point free to spend.
If u change the 1st spec a bit and with what i typed u can tank good with it and maintain 6% extra str/stam on top of the weapon runeforge for 8% extra stam total. i wouldnt use the 2nd spec even with the changes as im already low on expertise.
