Also, I thought Frost was a PvP spec. You may want to go Arcane or Fire.

As nobody else seems to have noticed I would like to point out that there are level 80 instances other than heroics. Run these to gear up first. If you go into heroic doing 1.2k dps on my server I don't see you ever being invited back to another run.
With the amount of effort tanks and to a lesser degree healers put into gearing up it really is out of order to expect to be carried through heroics with sub par dps. I regularly replace dps on my runs when I do considerably more dps than them as tank, and not an amazingly geared tank at that.
As a freshly dinged 80 dps I spent about a day on 80 instance runs and picked up some basic gems/chants etc and was easily able to pull 1.9k dps so I expect all dps in my heroic runs to be capable of at least 1.5k.

I'd say go arcane at 80. You'll be able to do some decent damage if you stack spellpower and haste, and you pick up a lot of extra spellpower, hit rating, etc. from talents in the arcane and frost trees. As far as heroic/raiding specs, it is far less gear dependent than the currently acceptable fire builds (frostfire & fire/ttw ).
For more information, may I suggest
this link
? It will give you guides to specs, rotations, and a gear list for new 80s and where to obtain said gear. Give it a read. You can start doing some of the stuff now in your late 70s and be ready to go once you ding 80.
Good to note however, fire / frostfire outperforms arcane in terms of dps. And also arcane is still pretty mana heavy.

You're supposed to do heroics. But good luck getting into them. Unfortunately for you, Additional instances cannot be launched, and you'll have to try again later.
