I can't see your armory link from where I am typing now,
Pumuklii
, but there are two main goals when looking for gear upgrades as Frost DPS: 4xT7 and Sigil of Awareness. Of course, a good weapon as well. Personally, I was not so lucky as to get the sigil of awareness until very recently. But after that, my DPS self buffed jumped from ~3000 (on lvl 80 target dummy) to
more than 3300
. This sigil is able to put Obliterate damage on par with Frost Strike for most mobs, except raid bosses, which have quite a hefty amount of armor.
Other than that, your rotation looks 'standard issue' for Frost. All you need to do is pay attention to Killing Machine and Rime procs and use them wisely. If Rime procs, use HB immediately. If Killing Machine procs, use FS immediately (ofc, if RP allows for it).
And one more thing: if Rime and Killing Machine Proc at the same time, first execute FS and then use the Rime for a normal HB
. No sense wasting both procs on a HB crit, when you can have one FS crit and one normal (potentially a crit as well) HB.

If it's helping you with 4 piece T7 bonus, then yes, the T7 helmet is better than Spiked Titansteel. However my recommendation is to get the other 4 pieces of T7, as the Spiked Titansteel Helm is the second best in T7 content (after
Obsidian Greathelm
, from 25Sartharion 2D)

pulled 2,7k as unholy while 2,6k in frost both were tested on a boss
so what deos that proves us?It only proves that either DPS spec is competitive if played and properly geared for. Nothing more, nothing less. The choice for one spec or another is based on each player's play style and fantasy game preferences in general.
Personally I tried all three DPS specs but I have to admit I am still the most comfortable with Frost, as it is simple in theory and it also requires a sharp attention to Rime / Killing Machine procs for maximum DPS.
And regarding that 'AoE Unholy' spec you posted, I suggest also picking up Corpse Explosion. It can be very, VERY fun. Also if you don't take Ghoul Frenzy, then it's not worth picking up the preceding talents either. Better get the Blood-Caked Blade.
