this is normally true, but there is an exeption.
as a blood-tank with deathrune mastery, it's perfectly viable (and recomended) to blood-boil x 6, or Heartstrike x6 to produce massive Aggro.
the rest of what the others have said is true, spamming IT isn't the way to go, it will only serve to nerf IT and thus screw the DK's who use it for what it's meant wich is ranged pulls.
think of IT; as a Hand of reckoning for the pallys, a ranged skill that produces massive aggro for those unexpected extra add or adds that join a fight.
don't look at it as something that can/should be spammed because that's not what IT is meant to do.

aren't you suppose to HS x 6 for blood tanking on single targets?

I'd be interested to know your Source/Rotation? Because to me it looks pretty impossible to go beyond 4.
for that you need the glyph of disease, it allows to refresh diseases with pestilence, thus saving having to spend 1 frost and 1 unholy rune every time the diseases run out.
rotation is simple:
Round 1: IT+PS+HS+DS rpdump
Round 2: Pestilence+HS+DS+DS.
Round 3: HSx6
Round 4: Pestilence+HS+DS+DS
after this, just repeat round 3 and 4 all the time.
this is for single-target tanking, for AOE it's a bit diferent on rounds 1 and 2, but it get's eventually to a re-do of rounds 3 and 4 changing HS for BB.
I dunno if this is a proper blood DPS rotation, or if it's effective as I've never really done DPS as blood, only as frost and unholy (in fact the only tree I've used for both of it's functions is frost, wich I've used for tanking once, and for DPS for a while, but Unholy I've used it only for DPS; and blood only for tanking, since ever.)

From what I've read, it's not. Since they got rid of rolling diseases, GoDD is a bigger DPS increase than GoD.
I'll take your word on that, it's been a long long time since I've done any DPS, I'm quite rusty at that and very outdated into what's the hottest spec or what-not, I'm a dedicated tank on my guild, is rare when I get the chance to smack stuff arround, and when I do, it's on unholy.
just one question, can you elaborate a bit more on that part of "Getting rid of rolling diseases" ?
