if i was wanting to dps/tank id do 31/4/16 and go sword spec

i dont think that build you posted is that good as you have no tactical mastery and you need to switch stances alot of the time for various abilities. if you have no rage you cant do damage.

also 1/3 improved shield block is a must imo for tanking.

For PvP, yes! For PvE, a heavy two-hander (!) in the hands of a fury warrior is actually the better dps option. That being said, a "classic" 31/5/15 spec is a very nice hybrid spec where you have a solid base for damage, decent tanking abilities and a nice pvp spec.

TM (Tactical Mastery) is a "must" in almost all builds and should imo be a default warrior talent much like druids got innervation as one a patch ago. Personally I consider Anger Management a waste of a talent point - have a Molten destroyer or whatever hit you and you'll have a bunch of rage to play with right away.

Forum trolling is fun!! Take care guys! 8)

My thoughts

1.) TM is a must

2.) AM is wicked if you're soloing and tbh if you have to go to 10 to get TM 5/5 you might as well go 31 for MS as protection builds suck

3.) If you're hybridding it needs to be 16 for Last Stand - Last Stand = teh win at times

4.) I've gone 31/20 for classic off tank slappage. MS and Slow 2H sword + lovely fury bits ftw. Main reason for this is that I will rarely be a tank in a raid and tbh I rock @ tanking and can tank perfectly well without any prot talents :p

thats a negative from me.

2h fury isnt as good as dw fury. I found this out the other week. The only prob with dw fury is the reliance on %hit gear.

I did more damage with main hand hakkari warblade and skullforge reaver than I did with Zin'rohk DoW, possibly one of the better 2h fury weapons before MC. Exactly same DPS gear, except using edgemaster handguards for dw than gauntlets of might with the 1%hit

sitting in zerker stance switching back and making every single overpower is the dogs bollocks. deathwish, whirlwind, dw fury played properly with the right equip has the highest dps in the game.

I tried 2H Fury with TuF, got marginally better results than when DW'ing a Krol Blade + Lobo. Maybe I was a bit too low on +hit - maybe I was a bit too lazy to run behind every single mob to lower miss rate :) But getting all that +hit gear is kinda pita =)

The "problem" with prot spec is that with the "right" gear, you can compensate for very many (but not all) of those talents, while you can never replace a talent like SS, MS, Flurry or Bloodthirst.
