DW Frost is notorious for threat gen problems. It's best to scrap tank weps altogether and DW dps ones. Dual Nighttime are what I used on my DK until I went back to Blood tanking (just liked the feel of it better).
The dps trinket needs to go, if you can get the new badge trinket it's damn sexy.
Also, you should be gemming pure Stamina once you've read the def cap. Parry gives the worst return per rating, and the way damage is dealt in this expansion.... Stamina is king. You're 16 over defense cap, so you can lose some of those defense gems.

Also, looking at your spec, I see that you don't have Threat of Thassarian or Nerves of Cold Steel, despite your dual wielding. Both increase damage, which therefore increases threat. Also, for dual wielding I'm kind of surprised to not see Improved Icy Talons, its one of the things that makes dual wielding DPS weapons possible. Extra runic power is also a talent choice that I have not seen before, seeing as improving the cap is unnecessary since with IIT and Runestrike you should be dishing out runic power faster than it hits 100, much less 130.
But to reiterate what everyone else has said, soft cap on defense is 540, and every 25? points after that net you another 1% dodge and parry I think. Not sure about that last statement though.

Your spec scares me, that's a 2H spec. This is a DW spec designed for heroics. Points in Morbidity can be moved to Bladed Armor or Epidemic if you wish to raid primarily.
Not sure where your looking for speck, but I have no points in Morbidity at all. I do see however that I need to put points into Nerves of Cold Steel as a dual weapons bonus.
He's saying if you were to use
the spec he linked
, then you could instead move points from morbidity to Bladed Armor or Epidemic if you were going to do raids.

umm im confused a bit since i think dual weild tanks have awesome rune power generating ability why do you even need scent of blood or chill of the grave when threat of thassarian is much better or acclimation too since it is a good defensive spell but thats just my oppinion cause my DW frost dk generates perfect rune power and holds aggro just fine atm.
How are DW tanks generating this awesome runic power, if they don't have Scent of Blood?
Autoattacks don't generate any runic power on their own, and more autoattacks is the only thing DW tanks have over 2Hers.

so I am thinking he was looking at my DPS spec.
No.
He was looking at the spec that he linked for you, not any build of yours.
v----This one----v

^----Right here ----^
He was looking at that build, which is much better than yours and telling you to use it. Then he was also telling you how you could adjust it to move it from a Heroics build to a Raids build.
