id have to say that your points are good ill have to try out a magic supressing build to what i can make of it but all in all id have to say that it doesnt seem like a very good idea because most of the bosses you would be tanking would hit you too hard for the healers to keep you alive...
yea you got good ideas but unholy is more of a mob trash kind of tank more then anything, blood tanks are good for single targets and frost is the happy medium between them

Italiandk,
2H weapon spec is one of the highest threat producing talent spends out there. Why wouldn't you want more threat?
Rabies,
Your build ignores many of the essential unholy benefits to do what improve Icy Touch which you will use once per rotation? Not sure I understand that.
They are right Ravenous Dead without the permaghoul is a waste of points.
Dark Command is a bad glyph for any tank ever.
Read the stickies on tanking it will help you.

It's not a good talent for an Unholy build imo but you can swap there the 2 points in Scent of Blood if you prefer that talent.
The reason why I don't like it it's because it doesn't affect the strikes modifier so the buff to strikes is actually less than 4%. Also a good portion of our TPS come from spells (DC, UB, DND, IT) and they aren't affected by this talent as well.
Where do you get this information? It's 4 percent increase to all damage dealt by your weapon, which means while it won't increase DnD/DC/UB/BB, it will work in conjunction with Bone shield and Desecration, and increase the damage and threat of BS/SS/PS/Melee. Now considering Frost has the basically the same abilities added to it except it bonuses FS/OB/BS/Melee, and Frost gains a significant dps and threat bump from 2h weapon spec, I would say it would be huge for Unholy. SS is a significant portion of your dps, so buffing it will increase your threat dramatically.

Alot of DK threat production is based on dps abilities. It would be less important to have points in BcB or Necrosis than 2h weapon spec.
You can find alot of help with tanking and builds here...
