So, I've got a defence of 505 so far and I was wondering what people would suggest to up it.
Here's my profile :

Seriously what are you doing without
Rune of Stoneskin Gargoyle it will bring your defense up to 530
and a
tempered titansteel helm would be way better for tanking that
spiked titansteel helm

style of fighting id recomend
1. Death and Decay - Your friend aggros any one in the zone but damages the target when ur aggroing for a period of time so when a mage sheeps some one make sure the mage sheeps then aggro but dont hit the sheep! (same works with sap)
2. pestilence as it spreads diease of your current target and spreads your diease within 10 yards and usally gives about 5% threat (better then nothing)
3. If your going for unholy spec (which ive heard ppl not reccomend but i do it anyways =p) Go for unholy blight (the insect swarm) or if your going frost go for hungering cold to freeze all enemys so you only have to tank only one or so of them (just let the dps know) and unbreakable ammor as it increases your ammor
Tanking can be a pain with a dk becasue he has no block abilities but i've found tanking a whole lot easier to find groups (with the mass amount of dks running around) but they as well have some good abilities that trump over other class tanks
Some DKs have multi-mob threat issues due to playing style, and Unholy's constant AoE helps alleviate some of that.
Me? Let's just say I happened to suck at Howling Blast timing, added to the fact that I'm pretty sure one or two of my Howlings actually missed.
Block becomes a bit of a crutch later on. Block reduces up to 2k damage (some warriors with cooldowns block for 2.6k), and isn't a real avoidance stat. Looking at tankspot and a few posts on the WoW forums, apparently DKs have the highest dodge/parry yet they seem to have low threat.
Weird, considering i've always imagined it the other way around.
I guess it's just that DKs are still relatively new and not everyone knows what the real story is.
EDIT: Go grab
Seal of Pantheon.
EDIT2: Mining and... Tailoring?
