Frost Spec

[Taco]

I think that I understand the main points of Frost Spec, but I need someone to help me wrap my brain around *why* this would be a viable tanking spec.

The threat and (albeit soon to be nerfed) extra mitigation in Unholy is just too tempting to me to spec out of it.

Anyone have any ideas to share?

There's tons of info here. But bascially, as I understand it, Frost is a better tanking spec for single boss fights with heavy physical damage. Frost also has 3% more baseline avoidance from talents.
