That bit of healing really adds up after awhile. Two points in Demoralizing Shout are also worth it--you want to minimize the ratio of damage taken to damage done. Stay in battle stance always.
And contrary to what a previous poster said--I would actually prefer Mace Spec over Axe/Sword for leveling. First of all Mace Stun procs a lot more...and you're far more likely to end up taking less overall damage due to Mace Stun than you are due to SwordSpec/AxeSpec killing a mob faster.
Weapon specs are a mixed bag, however. Often the best weapon you have is not the spec you chose. Another reason why DW fury is a good idea for leveling--maces, swords, axes, even daggers. They're all viable and you can upgrade at any time for no cost.
10-25: Parry, TClap, Imp Charge, Deep Wounds, Imp Overpower
25-40: 2H Spec, Deathwish, Weapon Spec, Cruelty
40-45: Respec to full Fury. Cruelty, 2/5 Imp Demo, Commanding Prescense, DW Spec, Enrage, Flurry, Bloodthirst, Precision
45+: Fill out Arms tree. getting Deep Wounds, Imp Overpower, etc.
60+: Once you're in BC, you actually get enough reasonable stats to finish Fury tree and stay in berserker stance while grinding. Rampage is actually decent, if aggravating, to keep up.
