Survival-wise you should ditch Sudden Doom and Bloodworms and maybe even the points from Butchery and one from frost tree so you can get Blade Barrier, Vampiric Blood and Will Of The Necropolis, all of which are great talents for someone who values the ability to take punishment without falling.
With that you have all the essential tanking talents, but you'd be lacking in dps.
So to help you I give you two blood builds:
Tanking:

DPS:
http://www.wowhead.com/talent#jfVRVh0Icfof0stG0LZf0hh:LpGmVM
The dps build has it's basis on you using Icy Touch and Plague Strike only once. Basically you refresh the diseases with pestilence and use as many Heart Strikes as possilbe, dumping the runic power with Death Coils. Not the best build there is, but a good Blood dps-spec nonetheless.

On that DPS build, I'm not sure why you'd go 9 points into Frost, especially since you're using GoD to never cast Icy Touch. You'd get far more DPS taking those 9 and getting Blood Caked Blade and Necrosis.
As a Blood DK, you're not doing a whole lot of frost and shadow damage (compared to a frost build or unholy build respectively), so Black Ice is not a great use of talents in a standard blood build.

You can't really be a half-tank at 80. I'd go the full 51/0/20 dps build I linked if you want to DPS. While you're a DPS, you run heroics and collect tank gear. No one really wants heroic gear anymore, so just ask for it when it drops and you'll get it.
As for tanking, when you're learning to tank, Frost will work out better for you. Blood can tank too, but it's generally considered better for raiding, though I do 80 heroics at blood just fine.
Frost = better aoe threat, blood = easier to be healed.
I use this as a blood tank
