Don't tri-spec.
I'd actually say go full frost and then respec later.
Example. here's the 32 part of 32/39
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=jZG0ex0xkRhoDual Wielding DK's focus on Howling Blast as their damage dealer, and at this point, the next 15 or so talents will increase your DPS better by being in frost than they will in Unholy. Blood of the North, Guile of Gorefiend and Tundra Stalker being the main talents that help your DPS.
At the point where you can get your ghoul and Impurity, switch over to the 32/39 build, which looks like this:

Im still trying to figure out why ppl say "dont go unholy/frost for leveling it sucks 1111!"
its not so good pre 68 but once you ding 68 and can get the first 2 green wotlk swords .. from then on its pure ownage - sure theres some group quests i cant solo .. so what ? theres tons of ppl leveling and tons of ppl cant solo it either .. its a mmorpg :)
But theres alot of group quest where i dont notice its an elite before its dead.
at 76 im never dying really even if i get 4 or 5 mobs on me - ice touch - pestilence - deathchill (for sure crit) Howling blast = 4.5k crits on all the mobs = their nearly dead.
also the best part is if you instance atm at 76 im doing between 1700 and 1900 DPS depending on tank ( i have to hold back ..ALOT) - often i out dps all the other dps .. added together - the closest so far to my dps was a 77 Mage in drak - (lots of aoe) with 1200 DPS sustained
Dual Wield Unholy / Frost is wicked, the other 2h specs are cool aswell but dual wielding just rules for me :) and you get to use

- look my up on armory EU - Phiw - Eonar -
Rember however gear is EVERYTHING - i have less hp then some casters (ofc all warlocks beat me lol) Str Crit and hit and AP (for Impurity) with pala buffs and self buff and trinkets proc + fallen crusader so far my max is 3.7k ap :D
Oh and for self healing Blood presence and death strike does fine .. i did like 12% of all healing in the instance ^_^
