There's talk of future changes to tanking in general..that may affect all classes ....that MAY happen or not..but Ghostcrawler in this blog speaks about Blood Dks
heres an an example and then the link to the whole blog below :
" Outbreak
One of the fundamental tensions in DK tanking is deciding whether to spend a rune on diseases (which offer necessary tanking debuffs) or save the rune for Death Strike. Our hope was that choosing how to spend the resources would be interesting. A rogue for example has to decide on whether to spend resources on Slice and Dice or Eviscerate (or a number of other things). In reality though, we don’t think this decision has been a fun one. You feel cheated if you refresh diseases and then need to Death Strike a moment later, and you feel like a bad tank if you just neglect diseases. For 4.3, we’re going to give Blood DKs a 30 second Outbreak, so they will never have to manually apply diseases to a single target. Yes, that can lead to even more Death Strikes but we think adding a fun alternative to Death Strike is not the kind of thing we can easily change for 4.3. "

PS this blog wasnt 4.3 specific.more on class in general for future..and mechanics that may come out in the future...so i didnt post in that post..unless it is thought otherwise..
