look at what you're gaining a losing over a cookie cutter spec.
the big one if that you're losing tundra stalker. ok, so you're covering the lost expertise with VotW but tundra stalker does so much more than the strength you gain with that talent.
you're also losing howling blast, a defining skill for the frost tree and the reason for frost to be such a versatile tank spec. its single target threat is strong and its AoE threat is not only strong but it's also nice and bursty.
you're giving that up... for spell deflection? seriously?
i've tried to give you a clear and reasoned response, i think others might look at your use of the IBF glyph and just tell you to GTFO.

gods no. it's terrible.
no chill of the grave?
2/3 rime?
no 2H spec?
no points in SoB?
morbidity is arguable
glyph of death strike?
look at something along
these lines(13/51/7)
. movable points are icy reach and deathchill.
don't try to pick up icy talons unless your raid specifically needs you to (and a well organised raid won't ask a tank to do that when DW frost is so strong).
if you want a defensive glyph (UA) or an AoE one (DnD) then swap the GoIT for it.

It is disgusting the builds or players that some guilds actually carry through content. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that you've asked and accepted the advice given.
I've never been in a premier/heavy raiding guild. Always been me and a small group of friends, but even in that environment we constantly chat about our specs, asking opinions and such. I'd always imagined this would go on more in larger guilds.
Overall, I'm just amazed nobody called you on your build before now.

I didn't really want to come across really harshly at you, Abrahel, just people in general. Obviously you had some skill doing end-game content with a sub par build. I bet just by adding 2handed weapon spec, scent of blood, and chill of the grave that you'll get some comments from dps or a fellow tank about your new-found threat production. Just blows my mind that some healer or MT/OT, or heck just the raid/class/tank leader hadn't checked you out before now and made some comments/suggestions.
As a healer I'm constantly looking at the tank builds/gear in my raids, but maybe that's just me with a tank alt. In pugs I'll rarely say anything unless it is apparently a cause for wiping, but if it was a friend I would give a whisper with some advice.
