Ok warriors, check this out:

Reasoning:

I OT and dps in raids, hence defiance+imp.slam/flurry, my fast tanking weapon (eskhandar's right claw) fits perfectly with unbridled wrath, giving me extra rage while tanking (esp. combined with shield spec) and some benefit for pvp.

I pvp a lot, hence conc. blow, and last stand is a nice bonus

I'm planning on getting unstoppable force soonish, 2hfury ftw? Never tried it, i'm pretty excited Smile

I also have barovian family sword and the IBS, not sure if the former is better for 2hfury or not, we'll see i guess! EDIT: It's either 2hfury w/slam and unstoppable force or dwfury w/imp.dual wield and eskhandar's/lobotomizer.

Feedback/opinions?!

How much do you offtank? Is it a common thing or just if the healers are off smoking a doob and a MT goes down? If you PvP a lot you might want to just go with the standard PvP specs and just throw on a shield and fake it if you need to OT in raids. On that note, wouldn't 31/20 MS with a big 2h be a better PvP spec? But I digress... anyway, I'm biased - on my former main rogue and current shaman I've specced mostly for PvP (31/8/12 rogue, vs. combat spec, and 31/0/20 shaman, vs. resto spec) and winged it in PvE, relying on the fact I pay attention and know what I'm doing to make up for a PvP-based spec.

SLam doesn't work for DPSing in raids. There's too many situations where it either can't be used or not used at full effectiveness. If you do the math, you'll see that even in the best situations it only matches using BT/WW/OP over the course of the fight. While your slamming you'll be doing more DPS, but you'll be doing way less while you autoattack up your rage. It doens't work for PvP because you lack tactical mastery.

Edit: You probalably don't have sufficient crit/hit to really effectively DW dps.

reroll a pvp warrior. lol.

2H fury needs a relatively fast swing speed. gone are the days are 3.8 high end crushers, now that everything is normalized.

i almost feel BT is more advantageous for dps /pvp/ aggro building than concussion blow. Sure concussion blow is nice for a 5 sec stun, but that's like 2 (maybe more / less) swings, depending on your MH and OH weapons.

i played my warrior to raids, MC, BWL, AQ40 and i was MS and Fury. Fury with BT was by far the most fun.
Fights where i tanked single mobs (trash and bosses) aggro isn't an issue and most likely benefit from some defensive talents but never have i blamed Concussion blow for failures
Fights where i needed to build OT threat (hakkar, Nef), i'd just toss out tank gear and dual wield BT - HS spam. If you pull aggro, hit your hotkey Itemrack to toss on your shield.

/speech
/cry that i dont play wow anymore

have fun.

looks ok. i noticed you did not have tactical mastery - this gimps you when "stance dancing" in PVP or tanking (when taunt gets resisted, i'll switch to battle stance and use mocking blow)

for the most part, i hear 15 pts in prot (to get defiance) is all u really need in that tree. so you might wanna consider spending the extra pts in other areas

31/5/15 is all you need to tank main or off

you dont need spec full into prot till Naxx, with gear from MC BWL is cake as 31/5/15 and the same with going from BWL-AQ

broodlord who hits harder then nearly anyone can be tanked fine without full prot
