Ok don't just shrug me off hear me out and tell me your opinion and thoughts about this. I like blood I have always wonted to tank in blood now that I can is there a way a blood DK can duel wield tank with two swords, maces etc. I was messing with the blood talent tree and came up with this
http://www.wowhead.com/talent#jfGG0sMrusZhh0b
I replaced strangulate with mind freeze and I left out (Abomination's Might) (Blood-Caked Blade) (Crimson Scourge) (Dancing Rune Weapon) and Hand of Doom) but to help my off hand weapon I got (Nerves of Cold Steel but do you really need dancing rune weapon to tank though I'm new to blood tanking so I'm not sure?. If some one has any tips that could help me do this like a talent tree Build that could help or fix mine that would be awesome.

It's a no mate. The only concern with it is ToT as mentioned above. Without access to that talent there is no way you are going to pull enough threat.
Also with regards to your talent tree you made... When the MoP pre-patch (patch 5.0) hits before MoP comes out, sometime in the next month is my guess, Nerves of Cold Steel will become specific to Frost spec and unable to be picked by Blood.
My guess is that even if someone found a way to make it even slightly viable, Bliiz would very quickly nerf it so that it wasn't.

Dang lol i guess its not meant to be but i would have liked to if i was able to i wounder why they never made a class that could use two one-handed weapons and tank a DK would have been a perfect way to do that since you cant use a shield.maybe in the futer i can hope.

a quick addendum/clarification as for the reasoning behind this..
Nerves of Cold Steel increase your hit and the off-hand weapon's damage, but this does NOT apply to abilities - since most of your threat is generated by the use of your abilities, it would be like you would use a much weaker two-handed weapon, since without Threat of Thassarian you wouldn't benefit from the off-hand's damage at all (white-hits excluded)...
So, as was stated above, I'm afraid that DW-Tanking is not an option at the moment and probably won't be in the future either, considering what we know about MoP so far..

blizz should just remove the 1handed rune weapons for taking and be done with it. Its very clear DW tanking for dks is just not meant to be, but as long as some cherries are still dangling people will still be tempted.

Too bad you didn't play a DK in early WOTLK when frost was a viable tank spec. DW frost tanking was fun!

dw tanking can be done for some soloing for extra survivability. I remember a few solos by Mione where she was dual wielding souldrinkers just in order to survive the encounter since damage wasn't a problem. I think they should be left in the game, and players should be smart enough to know when something is a good idea, and when something isn't.

I did this in WotLK, I remember rocking the two "chainsaw" tanking swords. Short lived but fun as hell.
