As much as everyone will tell you DW sucks for DKS I think I would like this Idea.
Maybe
Glyph of the Stoneskin Ghoul (I don't know I just suck at names0
Increases Health by 1% Increases Defense by 5 and increases Expertise by 10
Everyone is always talking about parries and dodges so since most 1 handers with tanking stats grant a nice chunk of Defense maybe we can drop 15 and get that extra 20 stam on 2 weapons so you end with 2 of these
10 Defense + 20 Exepertice+ 2% health.

The trade-off tanking wise between two handers and DW is the tradeoff of lower hit/exp requirements against lower defense rating requirments. Extra defense rating or defense skill on One Handers would be pointless to all but brand new tanks. Stoneskin Gargoyle has that on it because Two Handers lack Defense rating. Logically then, the one hander tanking runeforge would be something along the lines of what NeoBlackHeart suggested: some kind of expertise or maybe hit focused enchant.

I was kind of thinking if you want it to be a tanking runeforge, to avoid it being a problem in Arena/PvP you make it something that only tanks would use, hence, the +X% threat per strike or whatever, along with a stam buff or something.
i like this one the threat wuold be nice

Um... wait a second? I don't follow. Why do Death Knights
need
another enchant?
I don't want to sound grumpy, but the reason you have your Defense enchant is because you have no shield. The Rune (supposedly) helps you reach those 540 defense you need so badly. Druid don't need to worry about them, warriors and paladins get a shield with ~40-60 defense.
25 is a pretty nice number. Perhaps a bit too much, but not enough to make me angry. As a Paladin tank, my sword, shield and shield enchant add up to a little under 25 Defense rating. Something DKs get practically for free. This weapon and shield however give me some parry and dodge (or block sometimes), so I guess that makes up for the higher defense DKs get.
Besides, what would the other enchant be?
Cannot be Stamina, because a 2H weapon has about as much stamina as 1H+Shield do.
Cannot be dodge/parry, because the Defense one already puts you on par there.
You already have spell defense one(s).

20 Expertise might be a bit much since the cap is only like 23 or 26 and they already get 10 from talents if they're frost. That would mean complete cap from just weapons, which is OP. Maybe 3 or 5 (even 5 might be much) on each.
... except, that the 26 Expertise cap is only when hitting from behind. As a tank, that's not very likely to happen - and the cap for that is way higher.

26 expertise is the dodge cap, or the soft cap for tanks, it's not the "from behind" cap. Getting more than 26 exp isn't bad but it hurts your other stats... expcept if you have this rune, which would be unfair to other tanks.

argentsun what this is abuot is a tanking rune for DW DKS that use two one handers and not a two hand witch is all the stoneskin rune can be but on is two handers they have one rune thats up parry rateing but i think one with a 1% hp increse and some parry wuold be better comeparing up to the two hander useing DK tanks with stoneskin witch incresees D by 25 and ups hp by 2%.

Good DK tanks will never, ever DW. GC has even stated that it was not their intention, nor will it ever be, that DK tanks will DW.
