You mean make Frost the sole tanking tree.

Yeah, I agree that the concept that Blood is harder than Frost is odd from a mitigation perspective, along with the fact that "currently" Frost presence is the tanking presense, but it's less to do with concept and more to do with playstyle.

Frost will likely be even more focused on CC/DPS (which sadly means more practical for PVP with the health and healing changes) and Unholy as the prime PVE DPS tree.

This is, admittedly, speculation on part, but it does seem like they're going back to clearly defined trees, which saddens me, but reducing the issues of class/spec balance is a bit more important that choosing your flavour.

I expect I am wrong regarding the PVP comment though. That would be too many steps backwards. This one is just a smart step back to get a better view.
