lol, you do have Blood Tap check your Blood Tree. I thought the same thing about AMS. The problem with the Death Coil Glyph is you will never use it. So it's basically a wasted Glyph. HB rotation is a very simple rotation and if followed will continue to bump up your dps. The hardest part about both Blood and unholy is the rotations and gearing is completely different than Frost. Blood is armor penetration/hit/expertise specialized gear, while Frost is Crit/hit with expertise not really necessary with Frost Strike at least until the next patch. Armor pen is not anywhere close to as important as it is for Blood.
Unholy is complex and more of a priority based system. Technically if played right it is the highest dps spec. I am actually considering speccing unholy now that my gear is becoming better and better, however at the moment, I am still geared for Frost, and not sure I want to spend the time changing gears lol. Plus Imp Icy Talons is a significant loss unless you are raiding with an enhance shaman.
I am going to guess a large portion of your dps increase was because you were geared more for Frost than Blood and unholy and so the increase was bonus, plus Frost has a much simpler rotation based more on CD's, and so a little simpler to use. Plus it's just so much more fun lol.

DKIRunes
is the addon I use. You can shift it around and minimalize it, and I really like the bars for diseases with timers, as it makes it easy to see.
AGUnitFrames
for my unit frames. Not complex.
Mik's
for my battle text. Once configurated, makes seeing those proc's a lot easier.
also, as Lynri stated, only suppliment pvp pieces where you lack pve items. I would suggest getting the pieces from WG, with +hit, as opposed to the regular honor items with +crit. At least until you are hit capped.
Run some heroics, and get your rep's up, and you should be able to piece together a decent set that you can push 2+k dps with.......and go from there.
One nice bp piece drops in DTK
Breastplate of Undeath
I've seen it drop 3 times in as many trips. And for pants, get to UK for these...
Staggering Legplates
.
Gem for strength, not AP. You get 2ap for 1 str.......and it scales. As your title of the thread says DPS, I would ask you to concentrate on that, and not tanking. Concentrate on tanking, when tanking. Don't combine both at the same time. I.E. put the correct rune on your weapon. Don't gem for stamina. etc...
good luck.

Hateful isn't horrible for Frost. It's not great though... Eleazor for example is using the cloak, it's not that bad.
I would suggest if you could get out of PvP into PvE, do it as soon as possible. It'll help a lot.
Hit Rating = 8% is basically required for any spec Dps.
Your Hit Rating is so very low that I'm worried about it. 3% isn't close to enough unfortunately. My suggestion is to look at the gear section:
3.1 Frost 2h DPS, Everything Explained
It's got a link in the first post:
"Post #2: Addons & Pre/Post Heroic Gear List"
Look there and see what heroics you need and once you get Hit Cap, you'll appreciate having done so.
LOL, Don't hate on the cloak mate. It is sweet, and there isn't a pre raiding one better for pure dps fun.
xajdx,
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40684
, is a great one and I would keep it going if you are hit capped if not than the two hit rating ones are the way to go.
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40256
is my personal preference for the second trinket, but that's because I have no armor penn in gear and getting a bit of armor penn is always nice, but I think EJ has a list of BiS.
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40431
= 320 AP built up over time, it's good if you don't have anything better but you have two trinkets that are better.
As for the gloves
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=39618
Is slightly better with the 16 strength gem it would give you 73 strength/1 percent hit/1 percent crit plus the 2 set tier bonus while the other glove will give you 75 strength/2 percent hit/0.9 percent crit.

Cloak of Bloodled Waters
Shhh, don't show this one come on man. I had Lynri for a few minutes he couldn't give me a better one, however
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=42067
is what I have it's pretty close with a bit more crit and about 8 less ap.
So not better just on equal par, and mine has the bonus of saying it's epic (yeah it means nothing if the stats are better, but try puging with mostly blues lol), plus the added stamina helps in aoe fights. If you know me I love my Crit, plus I am short on crit at the moment so the bonus .4 percent was just rocking :P
