i don't know blood very well, but i'll go with your frost DW spec..
first off, plague strike major glyph? nuh uh. you want Icy touch, frost strike, and obliterate when you hit 80.. take your pick of the two until then.
secondly. 3/3 nerves of cold steel... unquestionable.. melee is a major source of your damage (usually 2nd on my recount in heroics and what not), so you want to maximize it.
third... blood talents just don't synergize well with deep frost as it is mostly spell type damage. Unholy goes much better with the frost talents. Subversion (in the blood tree) is a decent thing to spec into if you do a lot of dungeoning and have trouble with pulling aggro, but if you're running with a tank you trust, i would skip it.
if I were you, for level 72
this
is the talent tree I would go with, as it is leading up to one of the cookie cutter raiding specs, and it puts out a great amount of damage with modest gear. (my DK only has somewhere around 2700 AP unbuffed, and he easily puts out over 3k DPS in 5-mans in his current gear)
as you work towards 80, your talent tree should fill in the rest of the way to look like
this
. Boom, instant raiding spec, that you can easily solo with, and no hassle of respeccing.

As far as choice of weapons? How shoud that work? is it the same concept as a rogue, which is Slow MH and Fast OH or can you get away with 2 slow MH's?
from what I understand, and someone feel free to correct me, but slow/slow is desireable, but slow/fast is acceptable. for instance, my frost DK is running with
slow mainhand
/
slow offhand
.
edit: i should add that my setup isn't ideal because my offhand has a higher damage rang and higher DPS than my mainhand, but unfortunatly, i can't put the titansteel bonecrusher in my offhand slot. i'm working on getting the drop from h-toc that eadric drops to replace my MH weapon, but for now that setup works quite well for me.

they're all comparable
DPS
blood has a lead on burst, cleave fights, and soloing (DRW, HS, and heals)
unholy has a lead on mass aoe fights and pvp (wandering plague and ghoul)
frost has a lead on prolonged fights and crowd control (death by a thousand cuts and slows/snares)
TANKING
blood has a lead on boss tanking (superior health, oh $%^& button, and incoming heals)
unholy has a lead on magical tanking (imp AMS, AMZ, and bone shield)
frost has a lead on trash tanking (slows/snares and superior point blank aoes)
it's mainly preference though, pick your poison
