Dual-speccing 2 tank builds?

Hey, I was wondering if some more experienced tanks could tell me if this was a worthwhile investment.
My warrior is level 62 and rising. I've gone prot the whole way, been running instances, and looking to become an end-game tank. I've read a lot about DW tanking and from what I can gather, its main advantage is additional threat in multi-mob situations.
To that end, when I get into Northrend, I was thinking about using my dual spec for a second tank build, and doing one DW build and one more prot-heavy build. I figure that this way, I can use the DW build on trash and what have you, then flip into a build with more defensive talents for the bosses. That way my threat should stay up the whole time, since from what I understand (and have experienced in old world content) keeping threat on one target is easy enough.
I don't know if this is just unnecessary, or if it is a good idea. If anyone else has done it, it would be cool to hear your experiences. Thanks in advance.

It's only worth the trouble if you're the main tank and know you'll be tanking every encounter. Else it will be better if you take a tank and a DPS spec, so you can make yourself useful while not tanking, and farming and soloing is still better done with a DPS than a tank.
