Here is a build i came up with for DW DPS....
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#jZG0exAbckf0V0stf0hhxM
. This build focuses on Howling Blast and Icy Touch for frost damage and necrosis and Blood Caked Blade for extra weapon damage. I'd be using OB as my weapon attack.
Suggestions?

I am currently DPS'n as a dw frost dk. The spec you have linked has a few things i would consider changing, firstly OB is not effective as DW, skills that are based upon weapon damage do not have the same effect when DW.
When looking at your spec i see that you have Frost Strike, and have also chosen Morbidity, these points are wasted as you will be using FS as your runic dump. I have linked my spec to show what i use atm. My rotation is:
1st Cycle: IT, PS, BS, BS, HB. (this changes if aoe... to IT, PS, P, HB, BS)
2nd Cycle: IT, IT, IT, IT, PS, PS
In between both cycles i dump all runic power with FS.
Hope this gives you an idea and helps you out a bit.
What has your dps range been? Has it been consistant? Are you using deathchill before your aoe HB for the instant crit? I was DW frost pre-patch and was cranking 5.8k dps on just about everything but thats in the past.. there is a new dw build its unholy based and it is mainly gear oriented to be good..
Thank you for asking this.... one thing i have been worried about is whether or not my dps will suck when i first hit 80. I would get Titansteel Bonecrusher and the Grasscutter as my pre-naxx weapons.... but i am worried i will be gimping my potential dps compared to a two hander.
Is this something to worry about?

This is the build I was using:
2/15/54
The trick to the this build is you have to use Icy touch in every rotation to keep up your icy talons. Your auto attacks are doing the majority of you damage. My rotation is simply IT>PS>BS>BS>SS>runic dump (gargoyle or death coils).
I am using
Silent Crusader
and
Rune of the Fallen Crusader
main hand.
Widow's Fury
and
Rune of the Fallen Crusader
off hand.
I do comparible dps and somtimes a little more than my 2H wielding unholy build using
Inevitable Defeat
and url=

]Rune of the Fallen Crusader.
Also if you go test you dps on a training dummy remember that necrosis does not do over kill damage. So if the dummy has 1 hp your necrosis strikes will not show up. Good luck.
And one other note. I have 20% hit rating when I spec DW and change gear. +hit is the biggest stat for DW.
Thanks. Is it possible to do this kind of dps at fresh 80, or do you need good gear first to make it work?

Have you tried using
Rune of Cinderglacier
on your offhand? Fallen Crusader is on a ppm, right? so it won't help to have them on both weapons.
