for single target threat no....for aoe threat yes. however glyphing/speccing for dnd does improve it's threat output and puts it on par with your other abilities. however, it messes up your rune rotation in a single target situation and you'll end up putting out less threat just due to your rotation being a bit odd.
i think there was a thread awhile back and someone was building a spec around DnD. 2pt10 bonus and dnd Glyph. i think it was mainly for heroics though.

unless you can figure out a really good rotation to use it in. i'm assuming your frost, since your using glyph of obliterate, that you'd need to apply frost fever first. let's say your doing single target threat. and full points into morbidity to get a 15sec DnD CD
IT...PS...DnD...BS...(rpdump)...(HoW)
0...1.5......3......4.5.........6..............7.5
you'll have a short break of nothing for about 4 sec....10sec rune CD+1.5 sec for your unholy rune to cd so you can OB
OB...BS...DnD...(rpdump)...(HoW)
11.5...13...15......16.5-18.....18-19.5
that'd be your basic rotation. if someone has something alittle more efficient please post...i'm bad at theorycrafting lol. anyway couple things i can see going wrong.
1. obliterate is used once in the rotation. i'd say you'll get 1/3rd or even 1/4th the amount of rime procs you get atm. you obliterate about 4 times each 20sec rotation in a normal frost spec. this rotation you can see 1.
2. your rp generation may be low and froststriking will probably be non-existant due to all rp going to runestrike.
3. with howling blast and frost strikes rarely being used killing machine will probably go to waste. you could easily use it on a froststrike if you saved some rp for it. however getting rime and killing machine at the same time probably not gonna happen as often.
I'd try to do the math but i'm at work and it's taking me long enough to post this and do my work at the same time. so figuring out which rotation could possibly put out more threat on paper would not be possible atm. maybe someone with more time can give it a go. with any tanking build...alot of it is gonna be based on your playing style and whether you like the rotations. i'd suggest to try it out like domilera did. glyphs aren't exactly expensive so i doubt it'll cost much to try it out.
