I am looking for a DK tanking guide. I'm trying to get my DK to 80 so she can Tank for my guild. Her current spec is Blood. Haven't Dual spec'ed yet.

There are several guides out there. Are you looking for a rotation guide, Gearing guide, or just basic gemming/enchanting/glyph guide?

Armor Guides
There are several different sets of BiS gear for tanking. It all depends on what you want. Ensida has a great list of all BiS lists. Easiest and best to use at this time ingame is the EH (Effective Health) set. This give you the highest armor possible for decreased hits and high Stam to take the hits.

http://www.ensidia.com/forum_topic.php?forum_id=36&topic_id=28655

Also, on the same topic, it tells you about the best rotation to use. Also remember to macro Rune Strike to all your abilities. Its on next swing and does a high amount of threat.

The guide has all the macro's you could ever want already made for you.

Glyphs and gemming is there as well as enchants.

When you hit 80, the easiest trinkets to get are the Black Heart from ToC and the armor trinket from Triumph badges. They will last you until you get the Corr Key and another trinket from ICC, or the Stam one from ToGC.

www.tankspot.com is a lovely site that after you get started, they can help you. But it can be confusing as everyone has their own opinion. It just mainly comes down to who's information you want to use or not.

It does have alot of info, but not all classes are covered very well there.

If you don't read it almost every day, you fall behind pretty quick on common classes.

I use themoonkinrepository.com over EJ for Moonkin stuff. Smaller tight knit group of Theorycrafters who aren't "jerks" per say and help people who ask for it instead of going "OMFG BAN"

As well as summarized topics.

I tried reading stuff there for my elemental shaman as well as my DK. Tried Tank spot, alot of them just bicker back and forth and then I just went to the WoW Forums. I ended up having to take all the sites and put them together just to get the answer I was looking for.

If people would summarize something in the first 3 pages, I would be fine. But I really hate having to sit down and read around 1000 pages of people just bickering back and forth.
