I do love the stuns, but the axe is allot more white damage, and faster HS hits between MS hits.
Any thoughts on the viability of this?

you could have search other threads to have the answer but I'll give it to ya anyway
StormHerald>>>evrey other weapon for 2's ecept the s3 and s4 mace. simple as that.
axe spex is generally considered the worst weapon spec. because 5% more crit is negligable due to alot of people having so much resilience you don't crit them alot anyway.
stuns aren't affected by resilience and provide an additional CC wich is much needed in a healer/warrior team.
secondly, no you won't pull out more damage because you have a faster wepon speed. yes you attack faster but you do a bit less damage every time.
with the axe, you might get around 37-38% crit instead of 32-33%. that's really not big of a difference and certainly won't win you the match.
if you stun the healer 2 or 3 times in a 2v2, you're pretty much win. after a 4 seconds stun, he'll have less than 50% health left and if he tries to run away you still have intercept to finish him off. most likely a lucky stun a the right moment will win you a match.
the thing is, when you stun some1, he can't run away or heal for 3-4 seconds in wich you hit him very hard. witht he axe, you'll get maybe 5-6 more crits in the whole game but you won't kill the healer because he's helaling through all your crits due to you not having any stun except intercept every 15 seconds.
and lastly, 150 badges is WAY too much for this weapon. you coould get the 2 fist weapons for fury PVE, the dory's embrace wich is the best back available or simply buy some nether vortex to make alot of money.
