Alright, well I'm a DK that's starting into raids such as 25 naxx and ulduar 10 each week. However, my problem is that I can't find a spec that feels comfortable or posts out a fair amount of DPS. I would like too ask all of your opinions of which spec is best geared towards me, and my gear.
Specs atm: 51/0/20 and 31/51/7
Armory:

Thanks for all of the help agian.

Whether you choose Blood/Frost/Unholy for dps should be decided depending on
your preference
really, they're all very much on par in terms of dps (unholy pulling ahead at multiple target fights, but it'll be nerfed/balanced soon).
About your gear, you're bloated with hit :) That Pyrite infuser certainly frees up alot of gems/enchants, I'd say regem/re-enchant some of your gear (Gloves and helm mainly) to get some extra critt/ap.
But from a blunt perspective ignoring what you might think is fun, you appear to have started doing Ulduar, then it might be "slightly" favourable to roll as unholy due to IUP and the increased AoE capabilities. (Huuuge emphasis on the slightly here, the difference is most likely minor).
Also your gear appears to be ready for the Unholy/blood ==> Unholy/frost transaction (i.e. the 0/10/61 build), and you dont really have that much ArP to make "the most" out of Blood.
TL;DR ==> Reduce your hit by a small amount (down to 8%) and pick which specc you feel comfortable with and enjoy the most mainly, but if you really just want the highest numbers, I'd reccomend Unholy.

Okay so I made my second spec 10/61 unholy and I have a few questions. I have never really used unholy so the rotation feels kind of sluggish too me. Am I suppose to be waiting for SS runes to be up on first land last on 2nd part of rotation? Also what is the standard rotation for it? Atm I use:
IT PS SS BS BS UB/DC
SS SS SS DC/DC
Also, what do I do for AoE rotations with multiple mobs, I believe that's where my DPS is falling off from but I'm not entirely sure. Any and all advice is needed.

Key rule of UH these days is to always try to use PS before IT (since many effects will beef up it's damage, RoR, EP etc). Other than that your rotation is spot on, just remember to lengthen/modify it according to how lucky you are with Glyph of SS procs.
For aoe I'd reccomend:
PS - IT - Pest - DnD* - UB
SS - BBx2 - SS - Runic dump (CE should you have it)
* For packs that wont live long enough for a ~5seconds delayed DnD it's better to drop it in advance (the reason why it's normally dropped after pestilence is because it'll gain a a large chunk of damage from Ebon Plaguebringer and RoR)
Also, just mentioning, it's preferable to use Blood presence for Unholy dps (since it's fairly GcD friendly)

For beginning raiders I would suggest a Frost DPS spec as I have found it to be easiest to control and even my Guildmasters 10 year old son who has a DK has mastered it.
Spec is 20/51/0

Rotation is quite simple as long as u have the 3 points in death rune mastery and not wasted them in rune tap.
Blood Tap. IT. OB. OB. BS. FS DUMP. Howling Blast on Rime Proc
I'd suggest an addon called DK alert for you Howling Blast Rime procs as it flashes the screen blue and dings in your ear so you will never miss a free HB.
good luck with your raiding.
