I think Blood tanking is much easier to generate threat single target and AoE threat. The reason, your main ability is HS and that is going to be hitting 2 targets always and refreshing your diseases with PT guarantees that the mobs are going to be taking ticks from that. And neither of those things are controlled by RNG.
Frost tanking relies on an ability that is on a 6 second CD and only generates a decent amount of AoE threat if paired with a KM proc and I've found it to be highly unreliable.
I'd much rather tab target and deal out HS to multiple mobs once my rotation is up than rely on some RNG mechanics for AoE threat generation.
Plus blood tanking is arguably a better endgame tanking spec due to its higher threat output and higher effective health, you might as well get used to it now if you want to take tanking to new content.
