Let me clear something up about Warriors.

When I am bored, I sometimes check out other realms to see whats going on there, and to show my pro skills. Whilst on one of these servers, I saw a very interesting discussion about Warriors and whether they should dual-wield or use a 2h weapon, in the general chat of Elwynn Forest.
Most of them were way off.
Perhaps I can prevent you from making the wrong choices. 2-Hand weapons for PvP, Dual-Wield for killing NPC's. Simple, yes? Yet many get that wrong in their heads.

Arms, While a perfectly viable raiding spec, it is vastly superior in PvP. Your main move, Mortal Strike, causes a percentage of weapon damage plus an amount. Obviously having a slow weapon with high weapon damage yields the best results. Alot of people will try to dual-wield with this spec because of Bladestorm, which is a whirlwind that lasts longer than normal. Yes, whirlwind does dmg from both weapons, but when bladestorm is on its 1 1/2 minute cooldown, your mortal strikes meanwhile are gimped.
Here are the talent points. The weapon specialization is your choice.

Fury, best Raiding spec, not as good at PvP than Arms. 2 slow 2-hand weapons are good for this build. I would recommend for a dps cycle, Bloodthirst, Whirlwind, and when Bloodthrist crtitically hits, use slam.

For being a warrior tank, look at my post on tanks. Enjoy.
