Blood: Great survivability, offers Strangulates, Rune Tap - Spell - World of Warcraft, and Rune Weapon to split DPS or hit one person hard.

One note: blood dk can (rng ofc) catch up with frost as dps, it ca also crit for 6-9k with death strike with full runic power and crit for 4-7k with Heart Strike (the aoe dmg is not really worth mentioning but it can add up for a quick switch). Also great self healing.

Good guide otherwise

There is not unfortunately, but I'm planning to fill this out completely . (Also for the equip/enchants they will be under the BiS gear links)

[Zoidberg]

Detailed and well formatted guide. I'm not into twinking, but keep on contributing!

[Synyster]

You can also get a group of friends and win-trade up to get arena achievements, depending on where you are its usually pretty easy to get up to the desired rating, then you can level up to 85 and start with 2200+ achieves and find easy arena partners I did this on my rogue and got 2650 in 3's with just a group of friends.

Actually twinkinfo.com has quite a bit about twinking. Its mostly BiS PvE but there's a few things on there about PvP. Its worth checking out if you're doing any kind of twinking
