I have a frost death knight, and I can tell you that to get the best damage out of frost, your procs are the key here.
With my frost death knight, I've noticed that if I just use Outbreak to drop both diseases down, spam Obliterate until my Howling Blast ability is proc'd, use frost strike (slowly) to dump RP, be careful if frost strike procs as it does not do alot of damage, whereas Obliterate does. Obliterate proc occurs on 5 melee attack hits. Festering Strike is a melee strike, deals lots of damage and keeps diseases up on bosses. This counts towards the Obliterate Proc.

I'm in full purps (359+ gears), maximised damage at 17k - 22k single target. But I am no great player. Will never beat others though :(

Hope was helpful to you.

I play a Frost Death Knight for Heroic 25 progression, and let me tell you, if you can stick with it and use the spec to it's maximum capability, you will find it very rewarding and a lot more fun to play than Unholy spec, purly because you have to watch your procs and RP a lot more thank Unholy at the moment.
Here are a few things which can help you get your numbers higher, but please bear in mind it is not always about Dps, as long as your alive and doing your job, your being useful to the raid, worry about survival and utility, then worry about Dps. So i'll start by linking you to my characters' armory page so youc an get a visual idea of the spec and gear i go for. It is a Dual Wield spec despite the visual showing me with a 2 Handed weapon on -_-

First thing: Note the spec, I have gone for a free mind freeze, it will help on some progression fights and it means you can use your runic power on Frost Strike andnot have to save it for mind freeze if your on interrupting duty. I have not taken Chillblains for the slowing as Hunters trapping the area are more than capable, but if you have to take Chilblains at the request of your raid leader, drop the free mind freeze.
Procs: In Dual-Wield spec, your Obliterate will be the bulk of your damage. Because of this, if you have a KM proc and an OB is less than 3 seconds away, wait for the OB to use it. If you can't use it on OB or you are RP capped then you can go ahead and use it on Frost Strike. a HB proc can go either way. If you have the Blood Runes spare, and Frost Fever isnt going to drop off soon, leave the HB proc and go ahead and use a Blood Strike. This gives you an extra strike to hopefully geta KM proc ready for your OB. If you do not have the Blood Runes or Frost Fever is going to drop off soon, go ahead and use the HB proc to: 1) Get Frost Fever back to its max duration and 2) the auto-attacks in between your HB and next strike will give you another chance at a KM proc ready for the next OB. If you do either and you don't get a KM proc just carry on as normal. If you find yourself with no runes and no runic power, go ahead and blood tap if it's off CD and use the rune for the best strike available to you. If BT is on CD then go ahead and use HoW, it's free runic power and will get you a frost strike sooner, which although isnt your highest damaging skill, it is still damage none the less.
Consumables: Make sure your flask is always active. that should be common knowledge to you. The same applies to your food buff. Now I don't care what anyone says but im abig believer in pre-potting. Doing this will let you have a bit more damage output at the start and have another pot ready to use when Bloodlust/Heroism later on in the fight.
Cooldowns: Pillar of Frost is nothing short of absolute power. You wan tto use PoF as soon as it comes off CD, it will give you max up-time on it throughout a fight and help you pump your damage up alot more. As for your ghoul, although you cant control it, it can still do some damage. So when you have all your damage increase procs up, hit your summon ghoul and hewill have a nice buff and do some damage for you.

Trying not to brag here but if I can do 29k Dps on a boss fight without caring about Dps at all, you can too. Just be confident in yourself and remain calm. If you loose your head at any time, Frost can become your worst enemy.
Hope this helps you in some way, shape,or form.
