current build:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#jcEMVh0IsbofssxhxZ0gb
glyphs:
1. rune strike
2. death strike
3. vampiric blood
Thinking about maybe moving some points from blood, or Improved icy touch into unholy to fill morbid and maybe get necrosis to 3/5. Will that even add much threat? =/
I'm also thinking about switching out vampiric blood for glyph of disease or dark death. I've been blood tank for around 2 weeks and the rotation is a bit tight for me...sometimes i just dont have the runes to do what i need (IT, PS, HT) and I just throw a death coil to wait for a rune to refresh. To me vampiric blood lasting 10 more seconds doesn't seem that useful...I don't use it much, only at times like frozen blows or fusion punch, and those are pretty predictable times doesn't need a 30 second vampiric blood... I honestly don't know why people say to get this glyph, and I also need the threat gen cuz theres 2 geared dps in my guild that have to hold back or else they'll steal threat from me

I honestly don't know dude, lol
I was frost tank, then i dual specced to blood/frost (both tanking). So I'm used to frost. I use frost tank for situations like arena at thorim or tanking the small drake adds in OS and i use blood for bosses like steelbreaker and XT or w/e.
I start out with IT, PS, DS (to get the death runes for more HS later on), HS, HS, then the rest I just wing it. I try to keep IT, PS up as much as possible so my HS and DS do more damage and rune strike when possible.
I haven't use scent of blood before, but 15 runic power at a 10 sec CD doesn't sound like it'll help much...
I guess I'll go with Glyph of dark death then... I DO cast death coil pretty occasionally =o

hmmm....
I was wondering if it was better to dnd and then start rotation, or just start rotation without dnd on boss fights. cuz its just 1 target, i dunno which generates the most threat...dnd does take 1 of each rune...
I rarely use blood for trash, its only if i forget to switch to frost that I go blood for trash. I have no trouble holding aoe threat on trash, its my blood single target boss threat that i need work on...

Theres a uld25 geared warlock and mage in the guild running uld10 with us. Its those 2 i'm having aggro problems with, I usually remember to switch back to frost from unholy...and usually figure out after wiping with the wrong presence on. I wouldn't be here posting about that... =/
Speaking about presences though, I noticed that after today's rolling restarts or w/e, when I switch specs, I have no presence, not blood, frost, or unholy, and I have to remember to click on a presence...anyone having that issue too? =/

My tank is wearing a 4 piece T7 combo, although I really didnt want to equip the helm.. but I have no problems with threat generation at all. I'm consistantly 2x above anyone else, even the guys putting out 4k+ dps. I do 2k dps alone as a frost tank, so that helps, but I find that critting your HB along with Rune Strike, every single time it is available, is an incredible threat builder. I don't even need DnD anymore, I only use it on huge AoE trash pulls where I just wouldn't be able to get diseases out fast enough to hold 15-20 spiders against mages/locks/hunters dps.
