Quoted from the WoW official DK site:

"Frost: Talents in this tree focus on tanking abilities. Frost Presence increases threat and lowers damage taken by a percentage."

While this is what is stated, having seen what they are offering as 'tanking talents' in the F&F alpha, I'm VERY skeptical on how a DK will tank. Yes, I understand that they generate threat through DPS. What I don't understand is how they can be considered a tank, much less the frost tree being considered the tanking tree, with one, count them, one physical damage mitigation talent. Even that talent is just an increase in armor, iirc. It's been said that a DK will not tank with a shield, but a 2-hand weapon. Needless to say, I'm worried about the standing of the DK's 'tank' status.
