Ok, so my DK just hit 80 and needs gearing, (wont link armory cus its embarressing). I want to tank with it, but cant find a good (any) blood tank build. So im wondering if some of the great minds here can shed a little bit of knowledge my way and hook me up with a blood tank spec?..
Before you get all bent outta shape about blood tanking, lemme just say, I dont plan on raiding as a tank, and low GS HC's will likely have below par healers, so a blood tank with sufficiant self healing could hold his own in ToC5 normal if things dont go to plan at least.
Will link my current blood tank spec when i figure out how..
Edit
My Blood tank build: http://eu.wowarmory.com/talent-calc.xml?cid=6&tal=0350021532003313230223131340305000000000000000000000000000050300000000000000000000000000

That's just plain ignorant and insulting. What they certainly DO have now is yet another person who has no freaking clue despite having played his toon for 80 levels who can't be bothered to scan the first page of topics on this forum or any other.
By what standard are you qualifying "below-par"? Try to remember that you're part of team, even in randoms. And going in with an attitude will do nothing but annoy you and your team.
Regardless, you're generally going to have threat issues more than healing ones in random 5-mans. Frost is considerably easier to tank with for the 5s because of the inherent snap threat that HB/BB/BB offers.
If you are going to stick to blood, here's what I used for 5mans. Though to be fair, I didn't use it for long. =P

I would totally reconsider your build and look into something with frost/unholy for easy AoE tanking.
Something like this: http://www.wowhead.com/talent#j0xbZGxx0AbIoc0buzAocgh:TadVmM gives you a decent setup for 2H frost tanking with a lot of AoE ability. You could probably drop glyph of RS and grab glyph of death and decay for a bit more AoE threat.
Then once you gear up and get a DW set you can change it up to a more DW-set build.
