Do you have rune strike macro'd to all your other attack abilities?
You should only use FS when KM procs.
Think about glyphing HB, and dropping IT from your rotation.
As for your gear or spec, i have no idea, you didnt give a link for either.
Your single target threat gen is never going to be as good as a prot warrior's can be, but you should be on par with a prot pally. DK's are AoE tanks, not single target tanks. While we can tank single target, its not our specialty. Just like how warriors CAN aoe tank, but there not very good at it.

Bind RS to every atk.
use HB>OB>BS>BS, keep up frost fever, use FS dump when it RP gets too high.

frost tanks r good aoe tanks, also pretty good single target. u should be able to pull~5k tps no problem in 25ms.
If u really want single target threat, go blood. 6k~7k tps easy.

but then again, the more he gets dodged and parried, the more he will get hit, therefore the quicker he has to active rune strike since he has more chances to dodge or parry?
That would blanace itself out since rune strike uptime would be higher.

Single Target Rotation:
IT->PS->OB->BS->BS->FS dump
OB->OB->OB->FS dump
Single targets is a dual disease rotation because of the added damage (and therefore threat) from damage modifiers. Sometimes during a rotation, if a Rime procs just as the diseases run out, I will just use the HB glyph and go single disease for a rotation until I have to refresh again.
Next big problem... your spec. Get it fixed. There are stickies galore on tanking. The biggest and most unforgivable spec problem is that you don't have blade barrier talented. That's extra mitigation, more survivability. Fix it.
There are other talent omissions that you should have that would increase your threat output, but I'll let the stickies address that.

Rune Strike Macro is very useful to increasing threat. Jjust before or just after 3.2 I was having some threat problems and I finally decided to macro RS in and my TPS jumped at least 1k. If you have scent of blood (only 2 points needed), you are unlikely to find yourself RP-starved.

Obliterate has a high crit rate too and can be harder hitting than HB as your gear level gets better. As was mentioned above, using Obliterate will not consume your diseases because Annihilation is talented.
Another bonus from using Obliterate (if talented properly with Rime which you don't have last I checked) is that it procs Rime which allows for free dps/tps on a fairly frequent proc.
So in the rotation I listed above, any time Rime would proc, you'd throw in HB and then continue on with your rotation.

Well, there's not much I find I have to comment on lately. With DW made more viable now I don't have to come on here and berate people for trying it. And tanking stuff has been hashed so much there's only an occasional need to interject.
Plus right now I'm at work with nothing much to do, so threw in a few of them anyways.
Had been wondering what happened to you. Left it to Eleazer to throw in DPS advice it seemed.
