thats a spec id use , basing on my expirience as a paladin aoe tank, tho u loose some armor bonuses from the frost tree, u can rly much keep urself up alone , since on hyjal there where parts where i was left all alone with the ghouls for 1 min or more and i had to relay on pots most of the time :P (plus i love the bone shield talent)

Is there actually a lot of places that does spell damage? (that's what anti-magic zone is for, not physical damage).
I don't see 'unholy' as anything to do with tanking tree, is that shield really necessary? - it shouldn't be unless blizzard makes DK's requirement, and I thought they said that all tanks are equivalent.
Also, what do you think about going this deep into blood for tanking:

Than going into frost/unholy, lets say this:

yeah i fixed the spec latter on, my spec is a end game raid spec, so ur bond to the situation of a spell caster boss, if not ur just a regular OT or aoe tank, or the last a dps to wich u'll have to get a different set just like warrior tanks do, on fights without aggro table, or where they are just OT and have to help on prot spec :S.
and yeah if u dont take the anti magic things then ur just like the other tanks, just that u dont have a regular taunt, u dont have a rightous fury to make 100% more threat, so in other words to shine on the tanking u have to get those :S howling blast is a big "oh @#$%"button since its and instant aoe on "your target" and in situations close to hyjal the gargoyle will become a big help into digging more aoe dmg as the corpse explocions since if 1 died the other mobs must be close so it will make a chain reaction where u could probably spam corpse explotion making a lot of aoe and agro.

ohh, but I'm liking blood tree, so what about this:
http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?talent=j0EzoIhIorRzZ0LZ0xhhxckrx0o
it has anti magic zone and still has the blood talents that seem good.
I'm not in beta, so I'm talking out of my rear here, so don't be shy to offend, I want a good spec for end-game raiding. And since you're very right about specialized anti-magic tank, I'd like a spec I could dps in on bosses when I'm not tanking, and have a good anti-magic capabilities for raid, and also be able to tank heroics.
pvp is not a priority. And the blood tree does look good to me.

I do have to say that from a healers perspective 20k damage can make or break a raid. That translates into 4-5k extra mana. It is purely situational though.
Most ranged DPS stand out of the range of an aoe or can run back a few yards to be out. CoH and Holy Nova can mop up a good deal of damage that is done up close.
From a DK perspective, Most of the 1st and second tiers are pure utility and add alot to any spec. Anticipation, Blade Barrier and Toughness should be prime for anyone going for a tank spec.
Look at the date of the post before yours.
Yeah.
