I have no problem with being Unholy, it was actually something i preferred before becoming a full time frost DK (cause i was not fond of frost pre 3.3.3). The spec itself is pretty straight forward in terms of how to do damage with or without reaping, more than frost is, only real additive is I have to control a pet. I have remained up to date with the current play-style, and as for strategy I pretty much have a basic idea of what needs to be done already besides a possible few minor tweeks to how i do some stuff in a fights, but for the most part a lot of what I do in frost is similar to unholy only instead of having to deal with killing machine procs, howling blast, and unbreakable armor, its replaced with bone armor, and a pet. Of course I will confer with other high up unholy DKs I know to make sure everything is peachy.
As for tanking, I am quite capable at tanking and picking up slack if it is lost and I have carried over much of "barrier's" (tank in exodus US#1) play-style over to my own when I tank. Sadly, to put it bluntly, I do not have up to date gear to be tanking Hard-Modes in 25 more than likely, IE my tanking gear hasn't been used since Algalon. As such I only have a few random pieces from ICC with a mix of everything down to Ulduar gear. This coupled with the fact that I may need time to become acquainted / comfortable with tanking ICC. : \
As for the guild that turned me down, they turned me down because I didn't seem to fit well socially within the guild because I was quiet, this would have been a reasonable turn down, only the thing is I was there less than a week, if it wasn't raid time no one was really on save for 1-2 random people, I couldn't talk in guild chat cause I wasn't in the guild, because I was only in for 4 ICC bosses and a ToGC it was the only time they heard me talk because I was quiet otherwise cause I didn't want to interrupt anything on vent, and I just kept anything talking related to the DK chat channel, so only the DK's saw what I said. There may be another underlying reason as to why they chose to decline me such as a raider coming back to raid, but I can't be sure because when told I was declined it was through the mailbox.
This only happened recently so I am still going through other possible guilds, but I currently do have an app into the horde guild <void>. I had apped to <bad news bears> but they decided not to tell me for a week that an old DK raider had come back to the game and would be taking the spot they had opened even though they had shown interest in picking me up. I also have an open spot to go to in a guild called <gwen stifani>, but that guilds doesn't have a app process, they just lost their main tank, and they felt the need to inform me that "if it excites you, we do have a tranny in the guild!" soooo im trying to keep my distance from that guild >_>
