This is what I get for letting my spec review thread fall down through lack of bumps
wow,
ok so you're missing blade barrier (huge!), you picked up black ice (waste now that it doesnt affect shadow damage anymore), 2/2 night of the dead (hardely a big deal as ghoul shouldnt be a prioirty when tanking), desecration (only has a 60% uptime in normal rotations and limited use during mobile fights/boss fights), AMZ (gimmick talent only good for progression / niche fights), on a pale horse (most things arent going to stun/fear you while tanking), and some other stuff.
key things you missed out on, 3/5 or 5/5 dark conviction (depending on build), 5/5 bladed armor, reaping (for RP, which is big too), virulence until hit capped, wandering plague is a decent talent thats taken some nerfs and such but is still good for AoE tanking, and reaping which again is a good help for RP.
Ok so yes you can tank w/that, but DK is designed so you can tank any way, but to MT for progression you need to redistribute a little bit. read stickies and stuff from beta forums a little more.

blade barrier, till I get to play a DK I'm not sure how good it will be.
black ice, is just to get down to lich, idk where else to put the 5 points.
Night of the dead, mostly just for fun and hahas
On pale horse is for any boss fears. 20% mounted is ok for grinding too.
AMZ may be a gimmick but is only 1 point.
Is dark conviction worth losing lich form?
Tweaked spec
or
This
I'm not sure where to take the points out for reaping

i'm guessing you never played a tank. parry is harder to get than dodge and has better benefits. 10% avoidance on a class that tends to take spiky damage is amazing and your blood runes should always be down.
lichborne really isnt worth losing some of the dps talents. yes it is some survivability, but there are other things to get. at the least dont get black ice. fill the entire top tier of frost if you need to, but most unholy DK tanks arent taking any frost talents now because black ice got nerfed.
night of the dead, if you are suggesting a serious tank build, do not get this.
amz is a 6 point talent, and is useless in most cases. if it was a 1 pt talent i'd tell you to get it in a heartbeat.
ALWAYS get 3/3 ebon plague bringer, no exceptions.
i still wouldnt get desecration but its up to you. 60% uptime not useful in most AoE or boss fights.
also, dont get 2handed weapon spec. 5/5 bladed armor + 3/5 dark conviction is amazingly good. and bladed armor will help ALL your abilities (including spells), while 2h weapon spec only effects melee

Meh I don't think I'd take scent of blood. That's one of the few, if not the only, talent in all 3 trees I've seen near universal "THAT TALENT SUCKS" from posters and beta participants alike. You don't need it, and it's just a waste of points. Stick them in virulence for the extra spell hit, since you want to aoe tank (which are all spells).
Ditch Corpse explosion, it's extremely weak and you want to use your unholy runes for other things.
try this
If you'd rather bladed armor you can ditch desecration and pick it up.
