is my dk. I like to duel wield frost spec. I do some heroics and some light raiding and every once in a while some @hole lights me up for being a frost dk. I do around 3k deeps I tend to do more than when I'm in UH and I just like it better than my UH spec. I am aware that dk's get their game on with strength and that's hard to find in one handers but what can I say. Am I living a lie? Is it wrong to go frost? What should I do? I have the titansteel 2hmace when I UH spec but I just like the frost spec better. Am I doing it wrong? I'd just like some intelligent insight. Thanks

Your spec is for a more geared DW DPSer, as that spec requires a certain amount of haste/hit to achieve a DPS increase, you might want to go deeper into blood instead, getting BA and the likes.
The problem I see is almost all of your gear is pvp gear, if it has the label savage deadly hateful furious or relentless, or just gives resilience period, its not meant for pve.
Get Tier gear and triumph gear from the vendors asap, and replace those trinkets too. Mirror of truth and mark of supremacy from badge vendor is a great start for better trinkets.
Also be sure to know your rotation, frost is a bit hard to master but does fantastic when you get ahold of the priority rotation.

Thank you for the feedback. You mean just keep running heroics to replace pvp gear and trinkets right? Also can you give me some examples of a good frost rotation? I like to drop the blood aoe when I"m going in. If there are multi mobs I will HB before starting, OB, OB, DS, DS. Sound logical? I try to HB everytime it comes up with multi mobs. Thanks again

Just keep running heroics to obtain emblems...
Only 3 instances could give you actual gear today - Frozen Halls.
You can't OBOB after HB. Your runes are on cooldown.

I could go into extra detail on DWs unique rotation, or I could redirect you to
this thread,
which wil answer your questions and more about DWing in general.
As for the gear yes, just spam heroics and get the 245 peices and 232 tier gear from the vendor in toc, and run Heroic Forge of souls for a chance at two great axes and an amazing trinket and youll be set.

Generally DW frost will do less dps than 2h blood or unholy specs. On the other hand it offers a 20% raid wide haste buff that helps your group a lot. It's a very good choice in every group that doesn't have an enhancement Shaman (because they offer the same buff without sacrificing any personal dps for it).

Fallen crusader MH/ Razorice off hand is for dps and dps only.
As tank 2x nerubian carapace, unless your at 540 Defense w/o the runes, then it might be worth looking into the 4% undiminished parry runes.

thats what I have on them. What weap should i get if the axe would be better in my main hand.

You want the axe in MH because it has a higher top end damage, and your strikes will do slightly better because of it, your sword is still fine just use it in OH.

nighttime
nighttime would be the easiest since your gear is in need of serious upgrades and you'd be a liability to a H HoR group.
definitely get the Trinket thru triumph emblems because you need alot of hit rating. I'd say replace anything with resilience or is at ilvl 200. with the gear available thru emblems and the new ICC heroics you should be able to replace anything at lvl 200 except maybe trinkets. but even your trinkets are in serious need of replacement.
