I'm now going to be a pain and say Blood has always been the best for me and I am able to get some very high crits and stable levels of damage on my DK.
I have seen all 3 specs do very high dps in raids in ICC but it is all down to gear and enchants.
UnHoly is a easy spec to get to grips with and you can do respectable dps with more modest gear so I would say try it first and if you fancey a change try frost. With Blood being ruined in Cata with Blizzard making it the tanking tree I would not grow too found of it before I end up disapointed with it's withdrawel as a dps spec.

I'm quite competitive with my DPS, as I struggle desperately to beat our guild's warrior (who, since hitting the ArP hard cap, has very very high DPS). I have simmed out Blood vs Frost vs Unholy DPS on both askmrrobot.com and kahorie's DK simulator over and over again with different setups (including BiS / ArP Capped / etc), and I'm consistently seeing Frost DW DPS coming out on top, followed by Blood and Unholy, which are just about equal (with Unholy beating all specs on AoE, of course, but I only care about ST).
So, I've been playing Frost. When I first switched from Unholy it was a DPS loss while I learned the priority system, but after I got accustomed to the new spec I did see a good DPS increase. I also prefer the challenge of playing Frost, I think it is a lot more fun than the Unholy or Blood rotation.

Unholy 2h > DW frost > every other variant of frost and unholy > Blood.

Spot the DK who hates Blood lol , there are some very sucessfull Blood DK's at top level that match and beat other specs.

It's true, I might've exaggerated a little bit due to my dislike of blood dips... however, the first two are generally correct.

I'm just having a bit of fun with you as I am a Blood DK ( as I already said ). I think it's just the "in" thing atm for people to say Unholy and Frost are king. I have UnHoly as my off spec and in fights like Sindragos I do find UnHoly handles the fight better than Blood ( The Ghoul helps ). But there are many fights I find my Blood spec is far better ( this was before I started to gem for arp ). Now I am going full Arp I have noticed my dps is getting stronger and stronger. I am able to match DK's with a same leve of gear score with Frost or UH which always shocks them as everyone now puts down Blood as an unviable option. Heck one !@#$y DK in guild who is a Frost build was ^&*!y to say I only play Blood because I am old ( 30! pffff not old but hey he is 14 ) and I will never beat his dps. Now in raids he comes up with so many excusses when I beat him it's now a running joke in guild!

Remember Frost needs to be dual wield to be sucessfull rather than a 2 handed wepon.

i think everyone has different opinions on what's fun...some people like to play challenging builds or fun builds. while some people just want to top the dps meter which they consider fun.
