Advice for a duo'ing character with my wife

Not sure where to post this, so I chose here. Sorry if it is in the wrong forum. Anywho, simple'ish question. My wife plays a WW Monk as an alt and she is taking a break from her guild and wants to play a wee bit more casually for a month or so, so she wants me to play with her. A character to run old content raids,whip through her dailies together and I have a feeling Isle of Thunder as well(dailies and rares). And she is an enchanter so she will probably want to rare hunt as well.
She has been hinting that she wants me to play a tank since as she put it, "she doesn't trust me to play a damage spec and not kill us repeatedly.", but to be honest, with my new job, i don't have the time to be playing 3 or 4 characters so i am asking you guys which of the tank specs would not only be best for what my wife wants, but would also work well in their respected damage spec so i can switch and run the odd heroic or LFR(without having to change gear a whole lot). I have a pally,monk and DK already at 90. And it seems to me the Monk or DK would be the best, since the Monk equipment is 90%the same in both specs and you could get by wearing tanking gear and still put out good damage in Frost or wearing damage gear while playing Blood as a DK. I tend to shy away from the Pally because prot is great, but i just dislike Ret so much as a damage spec.
So, what do you guys/gals think? Could I get by survival wise as a Blood DK and not piss too many people off in LFD's/LFR's as Frost with my gear not being perfect. And what would you recommend gear wise as a 'happy medium', or just forget the happy medium idea completely?

Thanks for the reply, I kinda figured a DK might suffice. I have 1 at 90 already in mostly rep. purples gemmed/enchanted for Frost right now. So I am hoping that will work well enough in Blood to play with the wife and survive some rares.

Absolutely! You will do fine tanking five man LFG heriocs is mostly DPS gear while specced as blood. Heroics are easy, and you will get a bunch of blue tanking gear fast.
The main thing you have to do is work out a good rotation of abilities or use Bitten's spell flash and you will do fine holding aggro. At first you may piss off your healers as they will have to heal you a lot, but like I said, you will amass blue tanking gear in no time.
Also run scenarios with your wife, and you willl really get gear quickly, and reputation boosts to boot.
