"dissatisfaction" is a vastly more common word than "unsatisfaction". Many dictionaries do not even list "unsatisfaction", and it may risk looking like a mistake for "dissatisfaction". One or two do list it though, and it appears occasionally in the writing of competent native speakers. Assuming it's accepted as a valid word, I think it may have a slightly different nuance from "dissatisfaction",
