Hey, im trying DK tanking, and just wanted to check a few things.
Here's a spec ive put together (

Ive got a couple of questions about Dk tanking- first, is Frost the definite tank spec?
And are Icy talons or Lichborne any good for tanking, and anything else that i should of put points on?
Thanks =D

Frost isn't "the" tanking spec, but I run with it on my DK and I find it very easy to work with (the added avoidance from Frigid Deathplate is always nice too).
The spec is missing some key things, as well as having taken talents that don't do that well under tanking situations. Start with
this spec if you want a frost tanking build. You've got 10 points to play with as you choose, as well as a major glyph that you can pick at your discretion. I would recommend you look at the following talents for the last 10 points: Bladed Armor, Scent of Blood, Morbidity, and Epidemic. For the last major glyph, you can take
Glyph of Unbreakable Armor or
Glyph of Obliterate.
Have a look at my DK's armory if you want a solid Frost tanking build that's lasted me through Naxx and the beginnings of Uld10.
