You seem good at regurgitating dogmatic advice given by ignorants, but with statements like this and your gear/rating level you really shouldn't be giving advice to other warriors. The s4 sword and s4 axe are unquestionably better than Stormherald, as is the s3 Sword in many, many team comps you can choose.

Maces are better versus Druids, Rogues, Paladins, Hunters, Mages, Shamans and have very solid utility against the other classes. They also keep you alive longer versus double/triple/four dps teams in the brackets.

Swords are better versus Pets, Priests, Warlocks (2v2 and 3v3) and arguably Warriors (you give them less Rage with Swords but a Mace Stun lets you put up MS/Disarm with no Parry/Dodge). Sword Spec also is generally more explosive if your team likes to target swap frequently (2345 comes to mind) and if you run with an aggressive Shaman.

Obviously for hardcore PvP you should pick Maces. The reason top players pick Maces is not your "Mace Stun, Mace Stun, Intercept whee the Healer died." That rarely ever happens. The reason is Mace Stun leads to
1) Guaranteed MS uptime
2) Great peels for your healers to drink
3) Interruptions of HoT/Heal rotations
4) Interruptions of DoT/Damage rotations

But the base resistance talents of certain classes, and the ability for Maces to break your Pummel and ruin it, counterbalance those facts somewhat. I would take Maces all day every day, but saying Stormherald is better than other weapons two tiers above it is just stupid. Saying you do less damage with a faster weapon with higher DPS is just stupid. You do more damage. Slower is better when weapon damage is equal.

And Lithose, I don't know the specifics of your spec but there is really no reason to ever take Endless Rage under any situation. 35/23/3 is infinitely better in so many scenarios it's ridiculous. You can make any list of reasons for your spec you want (Based on your talk I'm assuming something like 45/11/3, which leaves out Disarm Resist, Enrage, and Piercing Howl). Enrage puts out more burst/overall damage than ER, Warriors are rarely rage starved in double healer anyways, Sweeping Strikes is one of the best rage dumps and helps kill Pets/Opponents, and the lack of disarm protection will lose you multiple games at higher brackets.

25% rage gain isn't even that great. Seriously, good Warriors should almost never be rage starved, and with a Priest providing dispels there's no way a shield can even keep you starved. What are you going to use that extra rage on? Spamstring?
