Leveling on a PvP server

Hey all!
I've recently been leveling as Blood spec (here's my
profile
), but I am on a PvP server, Demon Soul. And as I've found, I seem to encounter a lot more Horde players than Alliance players (I play Alliance), and I'll usually get ganked by one to three Hordies at a time.
As Blood hasn't really been proving its worth at PvP (my kill-death ratio in Outlands is about 1:1, I'd say), I was wondering whether there is a good Frost build out there that is good for both leveling and PvPing. Now, I'm not expecting that this Frost build will be as good as my Blood build for PvE, but I'm hoping that it will be made up for in the PvP department, so I don't keep getting my ass handed to me by Hordies.
Help please, and thank you.

Hmm... well I just realized that I haven't actually been using Chains of Ice a lot (and I know that's one of a DK's best PvP tools), so that may have been a serious oversight on my part.
I think I'll try using CoI more, and who knows? If I find Blood is ok for PvP, then I'll probably go buy a Glyph of Heart Strike.
Althought I was under the impression that Frost had more control and burst as compared to Blood, what with Hungering Cold, Chillblains, Deathchill, etc.
Well what do others think?

I'm on a 50/50 pvp realm, have tried all 3 main trees, and found Blood is best for world pvp with no healer. All my gear is Heroic and 10man epic tank gear though, so I'm spec'd and geared toward outlasting. My
farming/daily/world pvp
spec.

Since though, your winning half of the encounters, you are doing AMAZINGLY well if each encounter has 3:1 ratio.I think you misunderstood. Although it is true that the Alliance to Horde ratio is 1:3, I don't always come up against three hordies at a time. Most of the time it's just one, sometimes it's two, and every once in a while it's three.
My other piece of advice, do some research into the realms before you create a toon on it. Moreso than just gank-ability on your realm, you're likely to not have a as flourishing economy either.Hmm well I made a toon here because of my friend, who plays an Ally priest on this server.
Interesting thing about the builds presented so far: why no Butchery? Or is Blade Barrier better for leveling and PvP?
Blood is best for world pvp with no healerWell that is pretty much my current situation, so I guess I better go get a Glyph of Heart Strike to make PvPing easier.
