    Amazingly i have been having good results with a 1-disease 2handed Frost build.

    Even though my 4 Ret Paladins had way better gear than my DK tank (from running protpally/4ret for 2 months before switching tanks) i had no trouble keeping single and AoE agro with this setup.

    Also very easy to macro with a clickmacro
    /castsequence reset=4 Howling Blast,,,,,,,,,,,,(enough comma's to reset when your frost rune is available again)
    /castsequence reset=4 Obliterate,,,,,,,,,,
    /castsequence reset=4 Blood Boil, Blood Boil,,,,,,,,,,,,

    main click macro is
    /startattack
    /Click button "1"
    /Click button "2"
    /Click button "3"
    /Cast Frost Strike (rune dump)
    /Cast Rune Strike (rune dump)

    This is a very straight and simple setup and allows a nice flow of rune usage
    Howlingblast is 1unholy/1frost rune
    Obliterate is 1unholy/1frost rune
    Bloodboil is 1blood rune (used twice)

    I never get stuck on this macro, constantly casting spells and never getting in trouble with runes off cooldown.
    And amazingly enough it holds agro quite well, even when soloboxing in random heroics with agro monkeys

    Here is my armory for gear and spec http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...Mill&cn=Zyxxyx

    Only different is I didn't have the glyph to proc frost fever from howling blast, but I'm skeptical as to whether a single disease would make all the aggro difference when it was lost so easily before.
    There is your problem, for this setup you NEED the howling blast proc to get frost fever on all targets since this helps with DoT-Aggro AND it increases the bloodboil damage and threat
