I'm not going to discuss it on any top level. I just like 2h frost tanking. And I don't like feeling rogue'ish... Or the other way around... well, it's up to you to put either of two arguments on top of another...
And here's
what i'm using to do it
"my way".
Pestilence - what this spell is all about, anyway? I have HB, kinda enough.
Blood Tap -> Rune Tap macro saves the day, and glyphed, it's perfect tanking combo, that not only helps your HP pool, but mitigation also, through keeping Blade Barrier up.
Yes you are not Rune Stiriking often, but every your stike is very, very hard.
Gearing priority for you should be uncritability > hit cap > expertize soft cap > strength > agility.
Missed swing is a bad ju-ju! Parried swing is very-very bad ju-ju! You parrying boss swing is good ju-ju! It makes you RS often!
P.P.S.
Unbreakable Armor - i'm so rarely using it, thinking to switch point to something I would be using more often.

Nah, I didn't said it's useless. It's just I really know what i'm doing, and rarely running in situation, where I would be need that extra survivability. IbF close to fingers, and works overall, not just for melee. Plus AM shell for extra magic damage.
And hit really important, although I shall admit it's easily reachable when you're using DPS weapon. And that would be as often as "always", as I can't think about slow "tanking"(as in "defense and avoidance") 2hander.
P.S.
I specifically mean melee (not spell) hit cap.

Hi all,
I run with
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#j0EhZGxx0AbIoc0buzAo0g:TakVmM
and I have had no problems up to ICC 10man. Actually tanked up to Festergut.
I am not optimally geared as I usually get what the main spec tanks do not want but still I have had no complains from our guild healers so far.
MM
