While I do not feel like frost has at all deteriorated, here's a short list of pro's and con's of the two specs in your situation(Playing a double deeps comp with no hybrid).
Frost:
Pro:
-Great burst, if both of you are not CCed you will melt one of them.
-Great AoE, can kill off enemy pets with HB spams while putting some heavy pressure out.
-Able to face boom/ele shams on Blade's Edge with no fear of knockbacks early on.
-Some of the highest damage output in the game, though this generally shines better in a BG versus and Arena.
Con:
-Survivability is much lower.
-Burst is shut down if they polymorph/fear/incapacitate during Pilllar of Frost.
Unholy:
Pro:
-Great burst, powerful cooldowns which are not shut down by a single CC on the DK.
-High survivability is you use Lichborne healing at a good time.
-Lichborne healing can be used to break out of a locks fear chain(Which will be used on you as your hunter will be immune anyways) AND to heal the damage taken while he is fearing you.
-Ghoul stun adds another great CC to the team, especially if saved until morph.
-With 100% disease spread damage returned to us, a well timed Pestilence can allow for faster switches, and while a double dps team of this setup will not get many, catching their healer out of position just once may be all you need.
-Can escape easier(Death's Advance verus Chilblains)
Con:
-Does have a small ramp up time before morphing ghoul.
-Due to both of you being pet classes, a smart melee with heavy cleaving can kill off pets(Arms warriors) and hurt our output significantly.
While Lichborne is used by both specs, I only refer to it under Unholy since it is amped by the mastery and spec, making the heals much more potent.
I almost always find Unholy to be the superior spec for arenas, regardless of running healer/DK or double dps, and though there are a few exceptions I do not feel hunter/DK is one of those.
As for the armory link, I'd say go with Str/PvP power gems instead of pure strength gems. The strength should only be there for the set bonuses, PvP power is much more powerful.
