Looks fine as long as your not raiding with an enhancment shammy or a frost dps DK. If you are, then your waisting 6 talent points for icy talons.
Long as it takes you at least 30seconds from the start of one trash pull to the start of another you should be OK, otherwise your going to constantly be holding up your raid waiting for D&D to come off of cooldown.
Personally, i cant stand tanking without epidemic, but thats just me. I feel i waist a lot of GCD's reapplying diseases often without it.

how about this build,
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#j0EMZhxxxZfghI0fbx0mM0oz
thx for comment. i try to improve.
NB: for RAID build, not personal
Icy talons will not provide more tps than, say, rage of rivendare.
On a Pale horse is more or less a pvp talent.
Improved unholy presence is not commonly included in a tanking build.
Night of the dead is useless as you wont be needing your ghoul (and I doubt DPing faster will do any good).
You've also missed reaping, preventing you from having a SSx3 rotation..
You also really ought to get UB, it's one of the reasons people roll UH tank (great aoe)
Something like this might serve you better

(The points in Rav. dead/necrosis can be moved around depending on preference)

DW tanking is oftenly not reccomended due to Dk strike mechanics (and "parry gib") atm. There's only 1-hs atm with tanking stats yes, but we can only enchant SSG (giving us 2% hp and 25 defense) on 2-h weapons.
The frost build you just linked looks great, altough you may want to shift 2 points from Merciless combat and put them into Chill of the grave (as 12% extra damage when the mob's about to go down is alot less attractive than 5rp on almost all your abilities).
Common frost tank/dps glyphs are the following:
IT/HB (depending on which one you'd like)
Obliterate
Frost strike
Now should you feel you need more migration/avoidance you may want to replace the Obliterate glyph with either IBF or UA, but many just roll with the tps enhancing glyphs as the defensive ones are fairly minor :>

I don't like Necrosis and Blood Caked Blade in unholy tank builds. Rune Strike eats up a lot of your auto attacks, decreasing the value of both talents. I like to put the points into Virulence instead, since missing an opening IT messes with my rotation and starts me at a disadvantage with threat.
When you're UH you dont start with IT, you start with PS. I dont think that Virulence is better for an UH tank build than Necrosis/BcB, mainly due to the small amount of spells it affects (IT and DC, that's about it for a tank, thinking single target mainly, and spells that's very important for your rotation) and to the fact that BcB/Necrosis provides more threat.
