Death Knight that play Pvp, I need HELP!

[:1]Hey guys I have decided to be a death knight and I was wondering what race and spec would be good for PvP. I need to know the spec more than the race.
They're all good at least for world PvP and BGs. For arenas, blood might not be so great.

Blood is the tanking spec but it still can be great for 1v1 vs melee opponents (very easy to win) or do fine with high survivability in BGs or carry/defend flags.

Frost has the most burst. It procs big crits over and over and can snare people with their ranged and spammable AOE that deals decent dmg. If you want to kill people in a few big crits, go with frost. Frost also has this AOE frost CC to trap opponents in ice blocks (but damage will break it).

Unholy has a bit more control and a bit better diseases. It has a permanent ghoul and can summon a gargoyle for a short period of time. It feels to me like unholy hits like a wet noodle compared to frost but it can put up good pressure (especially against healers) by spamming necrotic strikes, having pets on them to prevent them to escape and drink and chain the ghoul stun with the silences to slowly wear them down. Unholy also has slightly better defenses against spell damage (AMS absorbs 100% instead of 75% and they can get anti-magic zone for around 30k absorbtion). Unholy is more centered around pressure and DoTs.


I always prefered frost but had to go with unholy after a while in WOTL to run with paladin in 2s cause it just was working better. Right now, both frost and unholy can be good and competitive in arenas if you look at some of the top teams. Blood is a tank spec but can still be good with self heals for 1v1 situations or in BGs but might not be as interesting for arenas because the damage should be lower and it would probably take forever to kill anyone with it compared to unholy pressure or frost burst.
Thanks a lot Neosoul that really helped, which spec allows you to heal yourself
