Am I going in the right direction for PvE & instance tanking?

I like to do PvE.. a bit of AoE and such for question.
I also like to tank for instances.
I tanked the Ramparts last night, and I was taking on 5-6 mobs at a time and I did a pretty good job taking them on, and I also didn't have trouble with any of the boss fights. I am not sure if it's because I am Lv 64, or if I am starting to see the effects of armor/stamina gear instead of pure DPS stuff.
Anyway, am I on the right track for what I want to do? Any suggestions on gear, or respecs?

Gear: ditch the spirit. now. Replace it with defence rating if at all possible.
Talents: Assuming your tanking, I'm pretty sure the ghoul won't help you gain threat, I'd put the 4 points you spent on your ghoul (night of the dead and the two talents that need it) and put it in Rage of Rivendare instead.

As a healer, i'd be perfectly happy to heal a tank specced into Ghoul (well, I was when it was just 1 point for a tank, anyways) along with Gargoyle. While leveling at least. Hell, i'd actually prefer it since bosses go down faster.
But I think that that spec could be cleaned up. You want Epidemic and Anti Magic Zone, talents like Wandering Plague and Ghould Frenzy are probably throwaway, I don't care much or the unnecessary AoE threat (at that level) and Ghoul Frenzy is... questionable even for dps. Unholy Command is dire for tanking, the talent is only good for spark stacking on Malygos and PvP.
If I wanted to tank as Unholy with 51 points (and pick up Ghoul + Gargoyle for boss smashing, and Pale Horse for leveling) I would spec

Ahh, are you talking about the Fel Iron Breastplate? That's because I bought it from the AH like that, and there were no other ones for sale. It was a big increase in armor and stamina for me, so the spirit enchantment didn't bother me so much. I can always get it enchanted with something else :)

You're absolutely right. Ghoul Frenzy was a waste of a point. I have only used it once and it was on accident because I thought it was my pet attack button at first.
Thanks for all the advice, both of you. It's much appreciated. :)
