Threat?

So as the title and forum would suggest, I'm a DK Tank. I'm having issues though. A lot of people are saying that they aren't having any threat issues, generating threat, keeping aggro but it seems I am.
Here
is a link to my armory so you can see the gear I'm working with. I normally Frost tank with a 15/51/5 spec, but recently went back to Blood tank since I enjoy it (53/8/10). Now, following the rotation listed on EJ (IT-PS-DS-HS-HS///DS-HS-HS-HS-HS), I don't seem to be able to pull much more than 4-5k tps, peaking at around 7-8k. I haven't gotten any numbers from other DK tanks, but I can't seem if I'm just not doing as well as I should be or if this is really as good as it gets atm.
Anyone having any suggestions?

Sometimes I OT, sometimes I MT. It's hard to pick a fight to use as an example since most of them generally require the tanks to switch. But if you pick a boss, I have everything from my 10m raid logged up to and including Sindragosa.
Threat is definitely an issue. I almost always have dps riding my ass on Omen, and generally need MDs to keep aggro. The only thing I was able to think of previously was that since I'm blood, which is all physical, I'm a bit reliant on Sunders/Expose Armor which my 10m raid doesn't have. Hell, my 25m doesn't normally have that either unless we make our fury warrior keep up sunders.
And yes, I am using every rune strike possible. I have it macro'd to every ability including cooldowns.
It's been getting so frustrating that I've been contemplating just switching my main to my pally, who is in almost full 232 gear but has better threat than my DK who is in almost full 251/264 gear.
