My
Death Knight has a nice DPS set and I was going to start farming to add to my tanking set I stopped making a while back. I have been trying to figure out what my secondary spec is going to be and I have decided I want to try and remake my tank spec.
I have looked over Elitist Jerk's
Post on the subject and I can't seem to decide between Unholy or Frost Tanking.
I have tried to enjoy Unholy but for some reason I don't like playing it as much as I enjoy Blood. I have been a Frost Tank before many times throughout my leveling and know the playstyle well. The main reason I'm bringing the question here and not just choosing what I am familiar with is that I heard Unholy has gotten better as of late and is worth it now. Also, I am in no way going Dual-Weild. I have been told to and there are a lot of good weapons out there but I simply do not enjoy Dual-Weilding and thats why I play this game, to enjoy it.
Frost is a well known and liked (by me) spec but Unholy brings Ebon Plaguebringer to the group/raid and Bone Shield is on the same cooldown as Unbreakable Armor and CAN last longer.
On a side note my gear is hardly good enough to tank heroics, especially not the new ones. I am Defense capped and can probably tank all the new regulars and past heroics, but the new ones I am going to stay out of for now. Also, that means I won't be tanking raids either anytime soon. So, I suppose, take that into consideration.
TLDR version, If im using a 2hander while tanking should I go Frost or Unholy?
