First things i noticed:
Shoulders not enchanted
Boots not enchanted
Bracers not enchanted
Cloak not enchanted
Get the good leg armor kit
Weapon not enchanted (cmon now, that's just plain laziness, runeforging is free!)
Your defense rating is not above 540, relying on the proc from your sigil to stay uncritable is not advisable. You can enchant your cloak and chest piece for more defense rating.
Do not use parry rating gems, use dodge/stam if you want a socket bonus for red sockets.
dont use green gems in epic gear.
Work on getting hit capped, which is around 269 hit rating.
As for your spec:
No 5/5 bladed armor? Thats a HUGE threat generation talent your missing right there. Thats almost 1000 attack power lost which effects spells and physical damage abilities alike.
If your going to spec frost, that means your going to be using Obliterate, which means you need 3/3 Annihilation.
Acclimation is a very poor talent, you can drop it.
Deathchill is a good talent to pick up for snap aggro. I use it a lot in combination with howling blast to make aoe packs stick to me instantly.
As for Icy Talons, make sure your not raiding with an enhancment shammy or another DK spec'd into it. If you are then these are 6 waisted talent points.

they changed the sigil Aris its 100% proc chances so now its not completly useless
Yes i know its a 100% proc, it still doesn't work until you actually use IT though. And if you use pestilence to renew diseases along with glyph of disease, then you only use IT once per encounter. Even if you dont use glyph of disease, you could still be crit at the start of a fight before you get IT off, like if it misses. Sure its a small chance, but the object is to be uncritable, not nearly uncritable most of the time.
Personally i say pick up the sigil of awarness for increased threat gen, stay at 540def, use glyph of disease and use pestilence to renew your diseases.

Either way its not a good habit to get into. It would be better to enchant and gem your gear with def rating so that your always capped regardless of circumstances.
I just dont think its a good idea to recommend people to use a sigil to reach the def cap. I was always able to get to 540 without it through the use of gems/enchants.
Can you? sure you CAN, its just not a good idea. I know if i was ever in a pug raid i would refuse to go with any tank not capped at all times.

You really should invest in a titansteel destroyer. That weapon will last you until you down KT enough times dig up a Death's Bite or until you start working 25 man naxx long enough to get lucky with an Inevitable Defeat drop and /roll.
You could use all the +hit and +expertise you can get and I'm willing to bet that is your biggest problem with threat right now. You could have the best spec and rotation in the world, but if you are missing and getting dodged/blocked/parried then you aren't producing threat.
