Totally new to DK, I want to tank as Blood but also want a dps offspec (still Blood). Any recommendations?

There's no viable Blood DPS? Hm ok, was misinformed. What's the difference between Unholy and Frost dps?

Two things
1) Blood DPS was in WOTLK and no more in Cataclysm..
2) Blood can "act" as DPS in Arena's as they do big burst DPS while using the dancing rune sword

BTW i only played DK in the early WOTLK so i dont remember how it was exactly and excuse my english i am not a native english speaker

Unholy uses 2h hand, frost 2x1h thats it you choose what you like to play.

unholy is good in arenas more than frost (if you have healer) but frost is better in BGs. However, if u wanna dps in instances/raids then it's either unholy or frost, which are about the same.

unholy- relies on your ghoul's moves and gargoyle as well as your moves
frost- huge burst on hits due to crit procs, but low use of pet and easier to play.

Well no, unholy has more survivability! Although in regards of KB's then yeah, frost. But unholy has far more BG utilities than frost :)

well the problem is that blood is only for tanking,

as offspec i would suggset: frost 2 1 hand wep as beginning and then when you got good raiding gear you swap to unholy and a 2 hand.

If you like big numbers and crits to pop on your screen go Frost with 2x1H weapons. Big crits, nice burst AoE. No pets to control, just you and your weapons = less to worry = can become boring.

In Unholy you will not see as many huge numbers on screen but a lot more of smaller. You use 2h weapon. You've got a ghoul pet to help you that can change to big ugly monster. You can summon another pet as well on cooldown to help you with burst damage. Nice AoE from DoT's and Death And Decay - not burst but VERY strong on longer time.

Unholy is more complex and fun. Frost is straight forward brutal and smash.

Both are very easy tbh, unholy is a little bit more challenging, but still very simple.

Oh what is so hard in Unholy ? I actually find Unholy easier, since your dps comes down to exactly 2 buttons. Like arcane mage. The fact you sometimes press Dark Transformation makes it no harder than survival hunter, who sometimes presses black arrow.

And on PvP Unholy is much-much-much easier than frost due to higher absorbs on NS and pet boosted control, and mobility.
