Original Post:
My tank spec will be Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft . I dont spec annihilation because im going to use dual wield due to the higher def and avoidance ratings. and so obliterate will be inferior compared to howling blast, which also has a higher crit chance.
I also dont use plague strike when tanking in a frost spec. your the only thing that has a benefit form it would be bloodstrike which doesnt do much dmg at all. for pestilence i think a icy touch - pestilence - howling blast rotation brings much more benefit than another disease on the targets. bloodboil also only needs one disease and doesnt benefit from a second. which is another reason not to use obliterate 
but i couldnt get any ideas on how strong nerves of cold steel is. im thinking about letting ravenous dead out and speccing into icy talons and improved icy talons. especially in 10-man raids were you most likely wont have a melee shaman around you can tank and support.
later im planning to spec unholy for the bone shield. when i have a higher avoidance i think it will give me a higher survivability than the frost talents. another point is the magic shield which is quite strong in 10-man raid. i dont think its useful in 25-man. another bonus are the 2% more stamina which we lack totally in a deep frost tanking build. AoE tanking should be a little better also
for blood tanking i can only say that i tanked nearly all 5-man non-hero in full dps gear with a solo blood spec and it worked blood is stronger for add tanking or 5-man group and maybe 10-man raids. but i think it wont be useful at 25-man because some skills wont work anymore, for example 30% extra armor when you're below 35% health. most bosses will just onehit you regardless of your armor
just my 2 cent
