Good tanking build?Follow
Is http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#j0tGqcIIscMbsst0gZ0xM:hoiMmV a good tank build? I've been trying to find the perfect one to start tanking raids.
I am a tool, so take what I am about to say with a grain of salt... but I would not get Icy Reach in the Frost Tree. That talent is not all the useful. I personally prefer Frost as a spec due to the increased damge mitagation and cause I named my character Spiderfrost. That naming obligated me to spec frost... so I do what I can.
I think there are a couple of Blood tanking builds scattered around the DK forums.

Pretty decent for the most part.
I see Bladed Armor is 1/5, you miss out on quite a bit of AP by not taking that.
Vendetta, that's not a good one. You wont get the killing blow oftentimes, and even then, 6% isn't worth 3 points. Your Blood is too bloated. Drop Vendetta and Will of the Necropolis. Also DRW is you'd like, it doesn't add any threat to you so many tanks don't take it.
In Frost Toughness is all you really need, but I always take 5/5 Black Ice, that will increase DnD/DC damage as well as IT. In Unholy the incresed disease time is always nice (Epidemic) and Morbidity. (Bonus DC damage is more threat, and Blood has weak AoE tanking as is, so lowered cooldown on DnD is nice.)

I re did it,i'm linking a new one incase it doesnt change on the origonal post http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#j0gGqIhcsfRbscx0xZ0xG:moiM0m
No Heart Strike? I suppose it could work, what do you use? Death Strike and Blood Strike? (Aside from Plague Strike and Icy Touch.)
By all means, play how you like, but I would still advise taking 5/5 Bladed Armor, dropping Will of the Necropolis, and rethinking Spell Deflection/Scent of Blood. Both are rather controversial talents, so you can choose as you'd like.
Glyph of Dark Command isn't often used either, simply because there is some Hit Rating on tanking gear...enough at least. Most people use the third slot for something besides Dark Command.

Scent of Blood is pretty useless. You're generating enough runic power as it is to have no real need for it.
Bloodworms is also pretty useless for tanking.
