Blood are the only tanks for the Dk class.
Any tank is easy to play if you know what your doing with it. The key to playing any class is knowing when to use your Cd's.
I haven't seen many Dk's tanking the new Cat. Dungeons but there on pair with Pallys and other tanking classes. In theory.

Dk's are generally the "hardest" tanking class because of the priority system which is also subject to RNG. Its however very rewarding, and a very fun class to tank with. If you know the class, you can easily chill while tanking. It takes time, but after some time the stuff is burned into your flesh. I, personally, get the reaction to mash Q and E(PS and IT on my keyboard) whenever a dk in my group is letting his diseases fall off, even though I currently play warrior(dont ask, dk's are much more awesome).
So no, blood is not the easiest start for a new tank. But with the right mindset and some hard work it can be a, if not the most, fun and very strong tank to play with. You also dont see many tanking dk's around, so less competition :)

Let me make it basic for tanking:
Druids: Great single-target tanking (swipe is...lacking)
Warriors: Can tank 1-3 mobs exceedingly well, may have trouble with more
Prot Pally: Best aoe tank out there. Currently the simplest tank out there, if you can call tanking "simple"
Blood Dk: Awesome single-targe/mass tanking (many single-target attacks, but D&D, Blood Boil, and Army of the Dead-IF USED RIGHT, can really help aoe threat).
Important note:
Blood dks use more mitigation than avoidance, which is unusual. What's great is how they're the best self-healing class out there as a tank, which really helps as to how stam has shined in Cata.
My tank is a prot-pally, but if I ever made another, it'd be a Blood Dk-- they really are awesome.
Edit: Oh, and Blood Dk's dual wield... don't use shields... so if you want to mix it up a bit... (don't even consider using a 2h weap)
