This is exactly how I play the spec also with GoD. You have to run a semi rotation around the B/D runes to ensure diseases don't drop, but by weaving FS (and HoW) in between rune refreshes regardless...

I've been running simulators all day having gone from 2H Frost Tanking to 2H Unholy DPS and now DW Frost in the space of 3 weeks.

For me, and using a Latency of 300 (I live in NZ, average 200-300)...

With the buff to IT threat, I personally feel DRW is of less value as a threat tool. I actually went back to Blood for tanking from frost in 3.3.3 and while I'm specc'd into DRW at the moment, will...

The main reason sub frost has become viable is because our 25% haste buff stacks with Windfury (for the casting DK) so we can get 45% haste without having to gear for it. Previously, we were better...

Well from the looks of things, I would say your method of comparison is the cause of the DPS loss.

That Helm, having a yellow socket and +12 stam bonus is a perfect example of when to use a +10hit +15 Stam gem. Or you could even use a +20 hit gem.

However, the question always...

The high threat modifier will still most likely keep it's threat below that of Heart Strike (and others) but make it more respectable on the pull.

Well UA has a 20 second duration with a 60 second CD thus has a 33% uptime.

With 4pc T9 that increases it to a 40% uptime. Assuming you use it on CD.

While people should be aware of the 27% hit requirement, it's by far anything to aim for.
