Two Qs on Blood Tanking

I have two questions on Blood tanking.
1. How is it in heroics, really? I don't really raid, so that's not as key for me. I know Blood does well there, but I want to try it in heroics. I like Frost in theory and I know it has great snap AOE aggro, but I find the procs a bit too random. I really like the playstyle of Blood (it's my DPS build as well). I've heard people say that it lags in AOE threat generation, and I'm curious if it's viable at all, and if so, what kind of gear you need/how much better geared you need to be than your DPS to hold aggro.
2.
How is this build?
I always yell at people to read stickies, so apologies for not following my own advice, but I really want to not be a fail DK tank and I would like specific feedback from those in the know. I *think* it's all right. I wanted Morbidity for the quicker Death and Decay, but is that something Blood tanks should be using a lot? Also, will not speccing into Sudden Doom gimp my threat? Are there any other issues people see? Are the glyphs okay?
Thanks in advance for any advice, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the advice, guys. I will move the one point from SoB to Hysteria. I might try Frost as well, but I know for DPS I find it somewhat chaotic -- not that I can't handle it, I just prefer Blood. If anyone has different advice I would love to hear that as well.
