I personally don't have a DK, but I know several people that do and have read several things on it.
What I understand the case to be is that Frost DKs are really easy to play as. You have a few abilities to use, and when you need to use a different one it will light up. Compared to UH it is quite easy. To be good at UH you have to practice and know your class. To be good with Frost you need to be able to open your eyes and know what ability to use.
When first starting to PvP most players will go frost as it is quite easy to play. Once they get more accustomed to PvPing they go to try UH.

Where are you looking at, high end arena teams or low end? Most high end teams might run with UH as it might do better in PvP, as for why I don't know.
But after looking at it, several top 100 teams on my server have a DK that runs as Frost. I'm not sure if
this
counts just that realm or all realms, but it shows that 48% of DKs play as frost in PvP. Not exactly a lack of them in PvP.
Right now though, I know several DKs though that run UH in PvE instead of Frost. But like I said earlier, aside from those numbers given and trends I have seen, I don't know much about the DK class so I cant really help you out as to why they are this way.

You play whichever spec you're better at. Many of the top DKs prefer unholy due to its utility, since you can use Unholy Frenzy to break your healers out of Sheep, Sap, Blind, Scatter/Freezing Trap, Repentance, etc.
Problem is that a good hunter will basically instantly tranq it off, and rogues can shiv. Your AMS is stronger, and you have AMZ for better survival against spellcasters, and another stun from your pet is very useful.
The only downside is that burst is very much harder to get off as UH than Frost, and you lose the root on your Chains of Ice. Also, many DKs are just plain bad at pet control, so getting really good at Frost is the only viable option.

I see a ton of frost DKs in bgs. Mine included. Usually these frosties top the damage done in the bgs. But it really is about what you like to play. I hate ghoul pets and love my dw frost DK so I don't touch unholy. If you like a pet unholy is probably the thing for you- in all seriousness both are extremely effective when played correct. Since you are using the same gear test out a couple specs and see what you like.
