I use
this build and it does wonders.
i'd take the 2 point out of imp blood presence and put em in blade barrier.
for the rest it is a nice build for 5man heroics and ot'ing, for mt'ing i'd go deeper in blood and skip ub

Please let me know what you think of this build
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#j0EGVh0IcbMdskZ0xZ0xGbxczi have been using deep blood for awhile and yeah what everyone has said and i figured out the aoe agro sucks. So i figured i would stay blood but make use of unholy Blight.
If this don't look any good or just sucks, i think i will just spec deep Frost, but will miss "veteran of the third war".
I normaly have the role of OT and get tasked of grabbing ads so death grip is very handly. Saying that though i sometimes get thrown into the MT role.
anyway let me know what you think.
BCB is bad as a tank, sure you think "extra threat" the mob your fighting on the other hand thinks extra parry gibs lol...
i use to be messing around with blood spec trying to figure out how to get the 6% stam 6% exp from blood , i found that this spec has the highest threat for single target and AOE and is GREAT for fights such as hodir with lots of magic damage and high hits
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#j0EMV0hcoZ0xoZbghcx0zxIzRcozill go over why i choose certin talents in this spec..
No ebon plague bringer? - DPS unholy dk's will allways have it no need for it
No wandering plague? - crit chance is to low to make it matter
improved unholy presence? - for those times where you have to move or die, iron counsel is a good example for this.. green spots of death ftl
1 point in desecration? - just a filler really to move down the tree , and is better then 1% strength from RD
1 point in black ice? - had 1 point left over after getting all the needed talents, this makes pretty much everything you do except white mele hits hit for 2% more dmg
anti-magic zone really needed? - for fights such as hodir with high amounts of magic damage going everywhere, if all your cooldowns are down , just pop that , will absorb at least 1 full hit.
why not just go full blood spec if your going to go that far down into blood? - the blood cooldowns , while semi-ok are no where compaired to the boneshield , i currently have 47k HP full raid buffed in 25's , while the 15% more hp is great , it will only let you take maybe half a hit more? with boss's now hitting for 17k+ the 20% mitigation for those oh crap moments are needed ALOT.
if you dont want to be that deep in unholy i sudgest useing
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#jcEMVh0IsbocsoZ0xZ0gGhx0zothis is bascially a put up ur diseases do a couple DS and spam the hell out of heart strike while keeping unholy blight up at all times will get you about 6k TPS single target and decent aoe agro
the subversion is for the 9% crit to heart strike, hope i helped out a bit

I use this build currently:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#j0EMVhhIsbofosZMxZ0gh0xcHysteria is an often overlooked talent. The small amount of health lost for the somewhat ridiculous amount of threat generation it can grant is a very small price to pay, especially on fights where the DPS are going through the roof with buffs, ie Malygos, Hodir, etc.
Sometimes I prefer to get rid of Necrosis and Blood Caked Blade and take it into frost a bit more for the 20% haste but I use the Glyph of Disease so I'm not casting Icy Touch very often, using 1 rune to keep my diseases up instead of 2.
I tried out Unholy Blight; it isn't terrible, but the amount of damage and threat that it puts out just doesn't seem to be worth putting that many points down into Unholy when there are other important talents that can be used in the other trees.
