1. blood vs frost?
Blood lives, can kill; Frost less survivability(Even with glyph), can nuke.
2. What are the best stats to go for? hit 5% > Str > crit > mastery > stam > haste?
You forgot resilience, though that's pretty standard on PvP gear anyway, so yes, about that.
3. Best kind of two hander to use? sword , axes, maces?
Does your race get a bonus to one of the above? Irrelevant otherwise. All three of those (PvP purchasable ones) are exactly the same.
4. What should my talent spec look like?
It should look annoying. I PvP as blood spec and I still don't see where the whole Front/Unholy > Blood thing yet. But I'm 72 in full brutal, most people without resil last 2 or 3 hits. It also takes about 5 or more people to take me down. 3 if they are in all PvP reward gear.
http://www.wowhead.com/talent#jfhMbsbruszG0obZbI also have a pocket resto shaman, with earth shield up I can't die. I like being annoying, when my pocket is resto I have tanked up to 12 people. It's great how they aren't smart enough to burst my pocket all at once, instead burning their skills one at a time on me.
I also don't use diseases, having two death strikes works out better. I waste my heals and use @#$%ty rotations and on level 79's that have low resil I tend to DS>DS>HS>if not dead>HS>dead. I don't see where my damage sucks, but apparently it changes at 80.
5. should I reforge my armor or get enchants?
I haven't had gear that can be reforged, there is a choice? I thought reforge was just a stat change. It gets overwritten by an enchant? Lame
6. what enchants should I get and should I runeforge my sword or stick with enchants?
Runeforge weapon all the way. I use the Spellshattering rune.
7. How much mastery should I try to get?
I don't have that yet, I have no idea how that even works.
8.Statistically speaking what should I be building my dk to be? a tank? a tank/ does burst? a stam stacker? etc.
Annoying, really really, #$%^ing annoying. That's what you are as a blood death knight in PvP. Stack either stam or str with resil. Since from what I am told once I hit 80 I will stop dishing out massive hits and stop being able to kill and so forth. If that be the case than give up on the idea of doing damage period. Stack up on resil and stam and just piss off as many people as you can by wasting their time hacking away at you.

Im going full blood for pvp right now. I like blood and frost, but, im siding with blood since frost is dw dps and the hit ratio isnt very good. I can't stand missing up to 3 obliterates consecutively during WotLK which probably hasnt changed for cata.
If you werent hitcapped for specials then, you kinda sucked, sorry. Frost can also go 2h, and requires only 2% hit for dw.
questions:
1. blood vs frost?
2. What are the best stats to go for? hit 5% > Str > crit > mastery > stam > haste?
3. Best kind of two hander to use? sword , axes, maces?

1: Frost. Blood only has survivability(and a lot of it vs melee) but no burst or cc, so its not very viable in arena.
2: As blood(seeing as youre biased for blood anyway) hitcap>expertise cap>str>resi>mastery>stam>crit>haste
3:Doesnt matter, except if you have racials that boost one or the other.
4:
This Major and minor glyphs arent set in stone.
5: Both.
6: See stat priority. Runeforge, ofcourse.
7: As much as you can.
8: A tank. Blood doesnt have burst, AT ALL. Strength is still great for a little consistent damage, but dont expect to kill people fast. Theres frost for that; your goal is to be annoying, be in the way while your teammates kill them off.
