I know exactly how you feel. My dps DK was heroic geared with just a few t7 and crafted epics and could never get a group(mainly any naxx raids). I blame it on achievements, and the catch22 that goes along with them. Have to have the achievement to get in the group, but can't get the achievement without going with a group and doing the place.
Anyways, I've since given up on dps for now and started working on my tank set so I can get into raids. It seems to be working a little better now, but still trying to get in those naxx raids to get the achievement. The problem on my realm is that no guilds actually run naxx anymore, everyone just pugs them if they need or gkp run them and all require achievements. Every raiding guild only does Ulduar... along with mine, so I basically don't have a chance to run naxx with them anyways. Makes things hard for a DK :)

You're probably having trouble finding groups because players are realizing that pugs fail at raids...and loot distro.

Actually, i'd put it down to groups wanting their Platewearer to give them BoK unless said Platewearer is a tank.
Seriously though, Holy Priest/ Balance Druid/ Shaman/ Ret Paladin/ DK tank is one of the best group makeups if you're leveling.

the worse thing is being a good tank but then lettin the stupid dps rogue or warrior out aggro you then gettin yelled at cuz he died cuz he doesnt know how to let me take the aggro THEN come in and dps
I just always out threat gen them. Threat generation is how you get respect from dps'ers. If you can grab it quick, and hang onto it no matter how much they dish out then everyone is going to want you in their raid.
being a good tank means being able to generate enough threat that your dps does not have to hold back. just wearing plate, having a good spec and being survivable doesn't make you a good tank. Threat generation is the key.
As for not getting invites as a DPS DK, DPS is a dime a dozen. People need tanks and healers. So unless your pumping out 4k+ dps, then your really nothing special.
