Really it's impossible to know.
You're not giving any specifics on your gear, rotation, group composition and encounter.
Not to mention your cababilities with the different builds.
The only thing I really can answer is "Is Frost 2-h dps comparable with unholy dps?"
Undless the situation is very aoe heavy, yes. :)

The simple answer is, they have the potential to. Using ideal gear for both and assuming a single target, then yes they can at very least match each other.
Frost DPS is valid, but it is most effective (i.e. competitive with Unholy) after you pick up
Sigil Of the Vengeful Heart
.
Frost does require more gear to put out the same numbers as unholy, but it is competitive once those levels are reached.
If you're curious as to how your character will perform with a given spec, I recommend trying out Kahorie's DK simulator, which can be found
here
. Read the readme file and input your characters info as instructed and it will output your simulated dps with the selected build. Mind you it is a simulation, so it's not perfect, however, if you're seeing differences of 1k dps, you can assume that you should go with the higher dps build.

Btw Lynri I know it's a little off topic but since dervasavred touched upon it I thought this would be a good opportunity to ask.
Are you a man/woman? Your fondness of Hello Kitty left me pondering :)

Undless you have any support for your claims please resist from posting claiming "X is better than Y". The topic is about Frost vs unholy dps, not "Which dk tree provides the best group buffs?".
You're not contributing to the ongoing discussion in any means.

"That melee haste thing" can be brought by any Shaman. Imp Icy Talons isn't game-breaking. Abom's Might can be provided by Enh Shamans, Blood DKs and MM Hunters.
Each spec has its niche. But Frost isn't any more amazing than the other trees; in the hands of someone skilled, each tree can be downright scary in terms of damage.
