Frost "Hybrid" Spec, need some critiques.

I need some feedback on a respec I am considering. I am enjoying frost and in my little guild I will be called on to tank and DPS in equal measures (sharing duties with a feral druid). I'm not looking for end game raid tanking but Heroics are definately part of the picture. Off-tanking as well where I have the talents to support me if I need to switch to Frost Presence mid-fight.

So I tried to come up with a build that does a bit of everything and passes - I have the Icy Talons line because we don't often have a shaman present (hrm but we do have two hunters that rotate in an out - does Imp Icy Talons boost pets? That might be a line I take out then but then again it helps me dps, so...) Epidemic is another talent I'm not sold on, its an awesome talent but I am used to the shorter duration already. Its two points though, so I guess they'd just go to Butchery.

Thoughts?

actually looks pretty solid. this is worth considering if i ever decide to quit unholy, which i don't plan to anytime soon. if you want to switch from dps to tanking easily, i think this spec could work, though i might be biased in saying unholy would work better to that effect, as the whole aoe works for both tanking and dpsing.

but yeah, I actually like it a lot.

Thanks. I actually like AE as Frost, obviously Unholy has it trumped what with another disease for Blood Boil and of course Unholy Blight, but I dunno, Howling Blast is pretty fun to see with all those biggish numbers.

I'm wondering if there are any key tanking talents I might have missed, I guess Acclimation is the only one that fits the bill there?

It's almost exactly the spec I use, only mine is slightly more tanking based.
And from the looks of it, this build will certaintly be able to fufill the tanking part of the criteria.
