First 6 Bosses 25m normal in ICC most recent report with my old guild before I left I had 4500 overall for the night. Its doable without BiS gear when using DPS weapons. I was doing mosty Frost tanking back then to proved the 20% melee haste buff. I havnt compared my Blood 2h Tank DPS recently as I've stopped doing logs with my new guild because no one cares over there.

I would love to see a log and the DPS in your runs. And quality warlock or Fury warrior can easily overtake a Frost Tank with dual tank weapons. I'm not saying there aren't situations where they can be used but those situations usually involved an obscene amount of hunters and rogues or bad DPS overall. If you run with GOOD dps you'll need every bit of additional threat dps weapons will give or resort to spamming IT and looking retarded.
Tank you this is what I wanted. I obviously don't do 4k dps in lame single target situations. I wouldnt be tanking ICC bosses with a frost spec anyways. But frost is VERY viable with two tank weps period. There is no reason to use two DPS weapons as a frost tank.

I don't believe anything I said agrees with what your implying. I think you need a class in reading comprehension.

I really wanna know who the retards are that are spamming IT and calling themselves tanks that you keep talking about.
Out of all the changes to DKs in this expantion, the IT threat buff that caused the influx of complete morons is the one change that I really, really hate.

or you could like...check your omen. Im no expert frost dk tank, far from it, only tanked 4/12 icc10, and wear full welfare t9 tank gear. but still, check your omen.
start off with 2 slow dps onehanders, if you have a large threath lead switch (by macro) to 2 tank onehanders, use death strikes instead of obliterate, whatever to get better survivability. if dps closes in, switch back, and do proper rotation.
If your dps is too low as frost tank to beat content, and you need to contribute more, im sorry, a dk tank wont cut it, regardless of weaponry. just reroll paladin or druid.

I would say about 70-80% of your post is just moronic. You never use death strike as a frost tank. It hardly increases survivability if at all seeing as how most of it is overhealing. It would be a complete threat loss for a frost tank.
DK tanks can pull as much dps as a pally tank and when very well played even a Druid.

My post is fine. I'm referring to Fester 25 before the buff not Halion Heroic 25. I think your the one who needs to read it once more slowly.

My apologizes but,I thought you referring too the fact that Halion was released before the buff was high.
Like you said.
