Tanking with DnD

Ok I have been tanking some 5 mans with this speck,
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#j0EZhxhZfthIx0zgs00coux:MRoMm0
I now see that I only use DnD at the start of the fight
I have the glyph of DnD and it seem like a waste.
On fights where the boss dose not need to be moved a lot, I would like to use more DnDs in my TPS rotation. I know it is less RP. I am a Blood Elf so I have on demand RP.
This is ~ 60 sec of a rotation using DnD
First line is the Abilities
Next line is the Runes used (b= blood, f= frost u= unholy d=death)
Use Bone Shield 2 min. before the fight.
DnD > PS > IT > BS -- UB -- SS > SS > SS --- DC
bfu------u------f-------b---------------fu------fu-------dd
SS > PS > IT > BS -- DC -- DnD > SS > SS --- UB
fu------u------f-------b---------------bfu--------fu-----dd
SS > SS > BS > BS -- DC -- PS > IT > SS > SS --- DC
fu-------fu------b------b-----------------u------f-------fu-----dd
SS > DnD > BS -- UB --SS > SS > Bone Shield > BS --- DC
fu-------bfu-----b---------------fu------fu---------d----------------d
PS > IT > BS > BS -- IBF at first Damage Spike
u------f-------b-------b
AS you can see that is no repeatable rotation. or at less none that i can see.
Can any one make a repeatable rotation using DnD?

Aw I made a mistake, nvm!
edit: You did too, DnD doesn't benefit from Reaping.
edit: I think
PS IT DND BS
SS SS BS BS
PS IT SS SS
SS DND BS
PS IT SS BS BS
SS SS SS
works...
Thank you but...
No, I don't think it will work. If you are right about DnD and Death runes then,
PS IT DND BS<--------the last BS will make a Death rune
SS SS BS BS<--------one BS will make a Death rune and the other will use a Death rune
PS IT SS SS<----------there is only one Death rune for the last SS and will this mess up the rotation.
SS DND BS
PS IT SS BS BS
SS SS SS
DnD uses a blood rune. It should make a Death rune. But if you are right, it makes thing worse for us and we should just drop reaping. Then replace the "triple SS" in the rotation with 2 SS and 2 BS
Dose any one know if DnD will make a Death rune with reaping?

/facepalm
You incapacity to read talent tooltip make me to /cry
And DnD is less threat on single target. Unless there is adds, do not use DnD.

if GoDnD seems like a waste of a glyph slot then that's because it probably is. take a GoSS and just drop a DnD to establish threat. don't worry about trying to weave DnD into a rotation. it's single target threat-per-rune is fine but it's not great and it's not needed.

lol i seem to fail at Dk tanking then.
Im in a standard frost spec. Using my normal rotation, i generate 3~5k tps consistently. If i drop a DnD at the start or mid fight, my tps shoots up to 5~7k. As one of my main threat generation atk is FS, OB, and HB, which shares a GCD, popping a DnD mid fight seems to help with threat if my RP is getting too high, allowing me to spam FS. This is due to the fact that i usually dont completely FS dump because i macro rune strike to all my atks so that its used as soon as it is up, and it does generate more threat than FS.
Using HB glyph, my current rotation for frost is HB, BS, BS, OB, FS dump, OB, OB (using mainly rime procs to keep frost fever on). If rime doesnt proc much, i will use a HB instead of OB to keep frost fever up.
any suggestions on how i should maximize my tps?

DnD is grate if you get feared or cc'ed mid fight. All of the runs should come off CD wile you are feared. DnD is ranged so you are back on with threat faster Vs, wating to run into melee range.
