To put it into perspective, DW frost used to be bad. Last season, DW wasn't a very viable spec to be running (although I used to do it because I didn't want to waste a spec so I used my PvE one). But with the changes to Killing Machine proccing off your offhand attacks, it has made it viable. With that said, you do have to take the extra hit talents in Tier 1 as opposed to increasing your range in that first frost tier. Another downside to it is that you're going to be hitting faster than you could with a 2h so you're going to be getting in more hits in a shorter period of time, but smaller hits. A 2H hits like a truck, so its just about the playstyle. DW is about bringing the fight to somebody and sitting on their face, while 2H is about hitting them like a mac truck.

This is the spec I'll use if i'm feeling peckish and want to go and do DW in BGs: http://www.wowhead.com/talent#jbh0bZbIRrfuRdcz:Mamq0V0mz.
