Rune Tap has saved my life so many times that i will never skip it. It's a great panic button and coupled with Vampiric Blood it's awesome. I guess it's useless when the healers are doing perfect 100% of the time. But they don't. Especially not in progress fights.
Also Spell Deflection procs on everything but dots and debuffs. I've had it proc on AoE countless times. Where did you get the information that it doesn't proc on AoE? I'd like to see what they mean.

Wow you guys really went back and forth quite a bit on this. Well to provide some Closure, I think I've figured out the best path for me. At least until 3.2 is released... I found that the reason I was struggling so much was that I lacked the hit rating to make a blood build perform properly. I was missing ticks from DnD, missing melee swings and what not fairly often. Because of this, it was making it hard to establish that AoE threat on mobs that were already being spanked by the DPS.
So for now, I've decided to run as a Frost Tank until I can build some better stats up to go back to Blood. Even as a Frost, I'm still having occasional issues with my Howling Blasts missing all the targets because of my low hit rating, but it's much more manageable as a Frost since I have the additional AoE utility to pull threat back.
I appreciate the input folks, and hopefully in a few weeks I can reflect on the things I've learned here and resume tanking as a Blood Knight, unless of course Blizz changes some more mechanics... T_T
