Actually I really like the spec that rlmorales posted. I may have to give that one a shot.
I think the reason that no one picks spell deflection is that it only works off direct damage spells, and the majority of the spell damage you are taking is AoE. Also, it is only a (roughly) 30% chance to take 10% less damage. Not really that great (for 3 points).
As for sudden doom, it is 5 points at the bottom of the tree which seem to be better spent elsewhere. I don't see a good place to get 5 points from to put into sudden doom. Although I do think it is a good talent I just can't find the budget for it.

has anybody tried rlmorals spec yet? I'm also looking at a blood dk tank spec and made one myself thats strikingly similar to his, so i think it would be a good test for my spec if someone could tell me how his works.
link to my spec:

Blood spec is for main tank only. You could tank boss like a feral tank.. but when it comes to picking up adds... that's when the trouble begins.
Frost spec does not have as much health as blood spec... but you would have a lot more avoidance and AOE threat...
QFT from my recent experiences.
I've tanked most heroics and some 10-man Naxx in Blood/Frost/Unholy and various mixes.
My recent return to Blood has shown it's VERY hard to tank multiple pulls. Stuff where you have 3,4, or 5 adds to keep together. Worse, if your groups locks, mages, and hunters start AEing. The only thing you can do is drop Death and Decay and that's both a terribly costly power and a rather slow cooldown (talented is much better).
However, the Healer found it no more real difficult to heal a Blood tank over an Unholy tank. Also, my DPS dropped dramatically due to not being able to keep up any decent rotation because of threat issues. I went from 1900 DPS (according to recount) with Unholy to about 1100. Same gear, but I picked up that nice purple Blood sigil for 15 emblems.
I imagine that my DPS will be better overall when I'm not tanking, as I can focus on the rotation, but it was a lot harder to keep aggro on packs. Boss battles, was not a problem.
I'll be doing some dummy testing tonight to see what I can get out of Blood DPS as a Tank. But so far, the poor performance on groups was very discouraging.
