Dev have you forgotten about DRM spec Frost? or the fact that HB Frost produces the same output as does IT + PS + Pest for Blood? Since Frost uses IT + Pest, HB is both so the rune cost is minor.
So the point you can push out a certain amount of Blood Boils per rotation is also void as half of the current Frost DKs can do the same amount and the other use HB instead of diseases + pest and pour out slightly higher damage.
Man I disappear for most of the day and I come back to the thread literally exploding. Holy hell.
This is my point: Blood's ability to chew through 6-8 BBs is superior to Frost's "roughly 50% more damage" BBs. There is no need (most of the time) to redo diseases for every new wave of trash either. A well-timed Pestilence will handle this. And, I am unsure if the behavior of BB not caring whose diseases are on the target is true, but if it is, that just makes it all the better for Blood.
The addition of BB to Bloody Strikes only makes this clearer.
And yeah, I forgot about DRM. >.>

Ok, I've prepared a build based on what has been said in the thread above and my own experiences with Blood DPS.
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#jfVMVh0IsbRfosxZfMh0xcd:pGL
^ This seemed like the most obvious build to put together. Are there any areas I can improve in? I considered Blood Worms but decided against it because a lot of people really hate them, and as a DK I'd rather not give people more reasons to hate me than they already have.

As of patch 3.1 frost is by far the best DK DPS spec out there. Im in 10 man and heoic gear and putting out 4k dps+. Blood has become a much weaker spec and cannot put out a viable dps neededed for ulduar and voa. With the nerfs to Obliterate and Heart Strike blood now averages half the DPS of frost.
Please dont go spreading things like that undless you have proper and accurate data supporting your claims. All the different trees for Dk's pull more or less the same dps (unholy being king, soon-to-be-nerfed, when it comes to AoE).
Also, with 3.1 Blood has shifted from focusing on Obliterate to Death Strike, thus instead of using Obliterate all blood DK's ought to use DS.
Btw what HS nerf? I haven't seen anything like that.
