I'm curious why you're discussing tank specs in a DPS thread. Like, the first half of the post is fine, but then you go down the tanking path for the second half which appears to have little place here.

Points from PTR testing
1. As someone already posted, atleast 2/2 epidemic is not really needed if you don't have 4xt7. This is good news and it will work well with some t8.
2. Question that came to my mind was what's the third glyph after obl and fs. The extra RP from IT will gives you one extra FS every 3.2 full rotations. But what about the bs and ps glyphs since you got Vicious Strikes 2/2?

Personally i think if you are going to spec 50 points into frost, you really should pick up HB. You may lose some single target dps... but then who knows. you have a 15% chance to proc HB per rotation (1 IT). so if you sai don average each rotation had 15% of 1 HB damage....does that equal 1 point in say... bladed armor or dark conviction? As a non tank you have what 14-15k armor? using 15k.. that 83 AP per point in Bladed armor.... I have a feeling that the added damage from one HB every few rotations my equal that.... Not ot mention on AOE it will dominate.
As a tank, it appears the optimal spec is
14/51/6 (1 in epidemic)... although i may pick up 2/2 jsut for the 100% uptime of frost fever slow... (ya slight dps loss but oh well).
With 1 in epidemic i NEVER had a problem with diseases falling off before i used all my abilities.. But i wonder how much dps i lose having both diseases up 3s longer, (with +10% damage to both of them from black ice, and the slow)... may be a fair trade /shrug. considering 1 point in Bladed armor = 180 AP for me....
I am curious how much dps bladed armor actually gives... ie.. is it better to drop subversion or bladed armor?
