I tank as frost and DPS as unholy, since my experience has been that unholy is pretty meh single target threat post 3.1, and frost has excellent AOE and single target threat (esp with howling blast), haven't had any issues tanking u10 up to mimiron as frost. Blood is also a great tank and DPS spec, esp for some of the hard fights where the self-healing can be very nice (40% health pot every minute sounds great sometimes...). I'm actually going to switch my DK to blood dps/tank this week probably since my mage is my raiding main now (too many melee not enough casters... qq)

My understanding was that the glyph of disease was not a great glyph for tanks, and in fact is best for blood spec (but glyph of VB is better) not unholy/frost. But I haven't really kept up with the EJ theorycrafters.

btw any reason why you reactivated the boxers, i'm down to just 1 account until next patch the argent coliseum is sooo boring.
I transferred to a new guild, and found a boxer in my own guild, and another one on the server. We decided to give 10 mans a shot, so far we 2 5 boxed, pvp boss, os 10, and some bosses in naxx, unfortunately my time is very limited since i raid in a guild that most fo You would call hardcore, so I can spent only 3-4 hours a week doing that. Some fights are a bit tough since the other boxers just hit 80, so for example Poings paladin isn't even defense capped yet, but they're both great guys, and very good players, so I think we will do great after they get some more gear =D
From what I've been reading unholy seems to be a very good single tps/aoe tank spec, I mean with a macro i was doing steady 6.5k tps in naxx, spiking to well over 12k, I'm sure without it i could do better. Our Dk tank had MT'ed a lot of our hard modes, we only have 3 or 4 of them left
, he's been unholy all this time. Main thing about unholy for me is ebon plague.
Glyph of disease basically makes it so You can do a set rotation, without rng of SS glyph, I think its great tool for boxers.
