 I am trying to create a custom agenda view that displays the deadline date 
 (rather than the tags) associated with certain entries.

 So, rather than:

  todo:  TODO Finish the task   :Work:

 I want to display:

  todo:  TODO Finish the task   5 February 2012

 I haven't been able to find the appropriate variables to control this. 
 Suggestions?

I don't think you can do this ... but you can use column view to overlay
the deadline on the agenda.

--8---cut here---start-8---
#+COLUMNS: %50ITEM %DEADLINE
* Deadline agenda view:sometag:
DEADLINE: 2012-02-04 Sat
[2012-02-05 Sun 09:39]
--8---cut here---end---8---

With this org file open

C-c C-c on the #+COLUMNS: line once to set the value

C-c a 1 a   - goes to the agenda with only this file
C-c C-x C-c - start column view displaying deadlines

You can set this as your default agenda view with

--8---cut here---start-8---
(setq org-columns-default-format %50ITEM %DEADLINE
--8---cut here---end---8---

then you can use it in any agenda view to overlay the deadline details.

HTH,
