Why don't more DK tanks take Rune Tap?
Laser Chicken — ... 4) It activates a blood rune, thus activating Blade Barrier. Now I'm not advocating using it on a regular basis in order to activate Blade Barrier, but again: in those "oh sh**" moments it's going to keep your blade barrier going strong. You might argue that you'll already be keeping your blood runes on cooldown, so it won't be available when you need it. Well luckily we have Blood Tap which will immediately activate a Blood Rune for you. Combine that with ...

Best Frost Spec and Rotation in 3.0.8
Skeleton Jack — ... to the spec and rotation available to Frost is that there is no way to truly “ramp up” your damage outside of using Raise Dead.  Your damage will be consistent and constant the entire way through, and then get some bonus damage from Merciless Combat when the target becomes low health.  Whereas Unholy and Blood have Dancing Rune Weapon and Summon Gargoyle as well to ramp their damage up in certain encounters.

Death Knight Specs for 3.1 Release
Skeleton Jack — ... Always, always, always take advantage of Blood Tap for AoE damage.  The combo is sick, out performing even Unholy in burst scenarios.  A 1 min CD however could mean that you will have to skip it sometimes. ...

Blood Tap
Skeleton Jack — ... Heya guys!!  Today we’re taking a glance at an oldie, but a goodie.  Blood Tap.  It seems straight forward really, but it’s not.  Most look at this ability and think, “Hey, I can fire off an attack/ability if my runes are on CD.”  But it’s really much more than that. ...
